I hope you two were able to do something special and fun on the day.<br /><br />We've only got (almost) 9 years, but then I didn't get married until I was 60. Yes, you read that right, I was a bachelor until I was 60 I really liked living alone, but life is better with Barbara, and in Portland, and retired. We got married at the Old Courhouse in Santa Ana, CA, an historical building.<br /><br />I remember Gimbel's Department Store, there was one in Los Angeles.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-71537770002621397052015-01-22T11:21:11.545-05:002015-01-22T11:21:11.545-05:00Ah, so very nice.

Your...Happy Belated Anniversary, Patti (and Phil).<br /><br />Your wedding was way more elaborate than ours. Even though we were engaged, Jackie's younger sister suddenly got engaged and planned to get married six months before us. (They were divorced after 19 years. It never should have happened.) <br /><br />We canceled our big wedding and got married in the rabbi's study (Jackie wore a short dress too) with only 25 people in attendance. Then we all drove into the city and had our reception/dinner at the (long defunct} Cattleman restaurant. We went to our new apartment (we had to sleep on the floor because it took several weeks to get a bed in those days) and Monday we went back to work. (I was working at the MLA headquarters and Jackie had jsut started her first year of teaching.) We went on a belated honeymoon to London six months later. This was 44 years ago.<br /><br />Many, many more happy years.<br /><br />Jeff M.Jeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-43287986756308572492015-01-22T07:35:55.437-05:002015-01-22T07:35:55.437-05:00Happy Anniversary and congratulations!!Happy Anniversary and congratulations!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-13494883757552404712015-01-22T06:44:22.391-05:002015-01-22T06:44:22.391-05:00Great photo--your love for each other shines throu...Great photo--your love for each other shines through. My husband and I are a few weeks shy of our 26th anniversary. It's funny, but with divorce being such a common feature of adult relationships in our world today, I notice one of the characteristics that is shared by many of the book bloggers I regularly read is a long-term, strong marriage/partnership. I wonder if that's just coincidence!Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-44486296690652304692015-01-22T00:20:24.692-05:002015-01-22T00:20:24.692-05:00Ahead of you.
