Fashion Doll Friday: Here Comes The Bride & Groom

With a Royal Wedding this weekend I felt like I should have a Prince or Princess or at least a Bride and Groom. As it happens I don’t collect either so  I didn’t have a lot to choose from. However, I have an American Girl Barbie in “Wedding Day” and Shaving Fun Ken wearing the costume of King Dominick so they are kind of appropriate. She is American, he has a  reddish beard.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  1. Awesome tie in for the Royal wedding, guess I can drag out my red haired G.I. Joe and dress him up in some kind of uniform and find a pretty brunette and a wedding dress, even though the only one I have is blue from the daytime drama/soap opera star Diedra Hall/Marlena Evans from Days of our lives.You have the best ideas!Love this!

  2. I have a tiny Prince Charles in Uniform and a Bride decanter from Avon, maybe I will put these on my Anniversary Pinterest. My Diana clones too.. I’m sure a pic of the Queen will round out this occasion. I love the Royal family!

  3. Probably my first memory of dolls was being taken to FAO Shwartz to see the Queen Elizabeth wedding dolls from Madame Alexander. I must have been all of three years old? I never forgot. I actually own an 8″ queen, original dress and all 🙂
