56 years

 Happy Anniversary to us!  56 years...wow we are even impressed!  It was 20 below zero that day. 


 Then...
and now...


we hardly look like the same people....such is life...but we are still best friends for richer or poorer in sickness and health...

We will go out for supper one evening soon to celebrate.

    Happy Anniversary!
    The wedding photos are lovely, but I have to say I love the recent photo of the two of you best. The love you've shared throughout the 56 years is clearly evident in your faces.
    Wishing you many more years together.

    We will be married 56 years next month. Getting married in Montana in January almost always includes a blizzard, and our wedding was no exception. Happy Anniversary to you!

    It's good to SEE you! :-)
    Happy Anniversary!
    I was just doing the math yesterday to figure out which anniversary was coming up in March for us. 1969 to 2026 adds up to 57 years! For now you have caught up with us. I hope you have a lovely little celebration. Every year is a gift now.

    Happy Anniversary!!! We originally wanted to get married closer to Christmas but found out that our church didn't allow weddings in Advent. Who knew? So we chose a Nov. date instead.
