I got married in almost that exact pink dress on page one. Only it was 1975, not 1969. We're a bit behind the fashion scene in Missouri.

The most hilarious chronical of Missouri wedding fashions can be found in the Bridal Cave wedding albums in Camdenton, MO. Thousands of couples have been married in Bridal Cave since the '40's, and every couple has a photo in the albums, which you can look at after you tour the cave.

Now I'm not saying that your average couple who chooses to tie the knot in a cave is homely or has bad fashion sense, but the pictures speak for themselves. Groomwear for '70's underground nuptuals was almost entirely given over to the powder blue leisure suit.

The albums alone are worth the price of admission.
