We got married 47 years ago. High School Sweethearts. We were young. Statistics were not on our side, we beat the odds.
Those first years were hard, but we had many good times together as a young couple before we had children. Children change your dynamic as a couple, there is no more I or we…it is the children, the us… a family…a team.
It was 20 below zero that Saturday morning, we were married at 2 in the afternoon.
We were engaged on July 5 1969 and married December 20 1969.
It has been give and take and communication that has gotten us this far. We were friends first, and we are still best friends. More wedding photos can be found here.
Happy Anniversary to us! We will have a quiet day at home and we will cook supper together…we have the fixins for a lobster and steak supper.
Happy Anniversary! Love the wedding photos. Beautiful bride, handsome groom! You are so lucky to have been sweethearts since high school and to have made such a successful marriage with each other. Not many can say that these days.

ReplyDeleteYes you sure beat the odds, congratulations to you both! 47 years, wow! I went and looked at your wedding pictures, very nice. I chuckled at the girls red dresses. That was quite a write up in the paper. I had a smaller version of that, but they don't seem to do that any more. May be just as well! Enjoy your supper:)

ReplyDeleteCongrats to you both! Where did the time go? I remember quite a bit about the Wedding and being nervous about serving ice cream.Ha! ha! It was a Beautiful Wedding and remember thinking how Romantic it was! Sharon
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Just a year before your wedding, On Dec, 19, 1968, we announced our engagement and were married the following March 1969. We were, and are a little older than you and met teaching across the hall from each other an elementary school. We became, and remain, best friends, like you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Wishing you a lovely day and many more years ahead.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you two! So glad you can say you beat the odds!

Thank you so much for sharing your special day with us! Lobster and steak sounds perfect! Happy Anniversary and congratulations! You're still a darn cute couple!
ReplyDeleteI was married to my first husband on exactly the same day as you. Here in Kansas! Was a snowy day and he was home on a 10 day leave from the Navy. What a coincidence. I am happy your marriage worked out. Mine last 9 years. Two sons later! Never looked back. Found my soulmate the second time around. Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteBelated anniversary wishes!
