This weekend we went to one of our favourite dances, the Swing Out to Victory dance at the Heritage War Plane museum in Hamilton where we both got into the mood by dressing vintage style.
Robert outdid himself with some Clark Gable facial hair. It was fun for the night but I was relieved when he shaved it off the next day. Let it be known…I hate facial hair on my man and on 99% of all other men for that matter.
Robert is wearing vintage cuff links, tie clip, tie, vest, pocket watch, blazer and hat.
I’m 100% vintage except for the shoes and belt.
It just so happened that it was 2 days before our 23rd wedding anniversary so it was perfect timing.
23 years…where has the time gone??? Seems like it was only yesterday that Robert was saying in his thick French accent to the Justice of the Peace, ” I want” instead of “I do.”
; P
Didn’t matter.
It worked for me.
It was fun to see so many people getting dressed up for the event. I had to get a photo of these ladies with all their hats…they were so much fun.
Below are three of the people that won for best costume. This gal on the left with the black hair really did look like she was off of some movie set.
Live music, dinner, dancing, silent auction and vintage war planes…it was a blast!
We’ve never danced as much as we danced that night. I think we only sat out 3 songs the whole evening.
I just adore these kind of events. They have another Big Band Dinner and Dance for New Year’s Eve we are seriously considering as well.
The atmosphere at these type of dances is just so much fun. Especially when people get into character with their costumes and dress in vintage style.
It was a brilliant way to celebrate our anniversary.
What do I love about my husband after being married for 23 years? The fact that he is willing and excited to dress up vintage style and go to swing dances, or take Tango lessons, or basically open to discovering new things together.
Here is to many more years of dressing up and having fun!
Love you babe!
xoxoxo

Oh! Oh, so much to love with this post. First off- happy 23rd anniversary!!!
He definitely does look like Clark Gable! And wow- all but three songs! I so want to see you two dance (more videos???) You look pretty adorable too. The hair is swoon-worthy and the coat matches your outfit perfectly.
I’m so impressed by all the pictures of the event too. Looks like so much fun! Amos and I used to go to dances like this, but we’ve been so bad about getting out to dance this year! Both too busy with work, but not really an excuse is it?
LOL…videos of us dancing…you may have to wait some time to see that. I’m shy when it comes to my dance skills, and my husband is even worse.
Too bad you’ve been too busy to hit the dances. It breaks up the routine.
I love when you post photos of both of you dressed up and going to awesome events! You are a stunning couple and it’s always so much fun to see pictures of where you went and hear about the dancing.
I am very lucky to be starting a little something with someone who also loves to go out and experience new things. He has facial hair though, so you may not approve. ;D
Happy Anniversary!! Fabulous post Suzanne!! This has got to be my favourite!! You two look stunning, like the leading lady and leading man in a classic romantic movie!! WOWZA!!
Your 23rd Anniversary? You mean you were only 10 when you when you got married? Talk about robbing the cradle!
You are very blessed to have found each other and i wish you many more happy, dancing years together!!
I am a dancer, as you know, but sadly, my husband does not share this passion with me. 🙁 He’s a terrific handyman and that’s worth something! 😉
