I enjoyed being there the day you were married even though I didnt know what to do with the large amount of petals I had remaining in my basket! Dumping at the end of the aisle really did leave a lasting impression on everyone! :-) I am blessed to have such a wonderful family! I just had my 7th anniversary and I cant wait to see my 40th! I love you both so much. Sorry this is so late but better late then never... I hope you enjoyed your day. I enjoyed our phone call that day! Love Always, Shawn Congrats on 40 blessed and wonderful years.

Who can remember 40 years ago? Sometimes it seems like yesterday, and sometimes it feels like forever ago! Although it was also a sad day for me to move out of the house with my family, it was a great time to start a new life with a wonderful man! I would have never thought of not giving you and Dave cookies and milk. That was how we treated family that we love! Keep asking Denise for cookies and milk, but don't let Riley interrupt anything! We love you all!! Marc,

My younger brother and his best friend, both altar boys at our wedding, were very important to us. As my parents worked, and I was 7 years older than he, I became his second mother. So, of course i gave him his milk and cookies. The only problem was that our mom was none too happy with him when he told her what they did! Oh well! What was once interupted was for family.

I'm here in Texas with my parents who will be married for fifty years roughly five months after I turn fifty myself next summer. You do the math - lots of marriages in the 1950's started that way. But here we are today. Three Kids, three grandkids, a few broken dishes from the days when Mom's friends in the PTA introduced her to Betty Friedan Reference to your first post: What do you make of all these 50s Miss 666? Shout out to Bruce and Gail!
