Happy 54th Wedding Anniversary to us! We plan to go out for steaks at Harry's if we can still get a reservation. If not we will find some other place to celebrate.
Who woulda thunk it all those years ago that at 18 and 19 years old we would make it 54 years!

It was cold…about –20F or –6C eh!
We were married in the afternoon and had a reception afterwards. We had cake, Christmas cookies, coffee, punch and some fancy sandwitches…they used to take a loaf of bread and swirl food coloring in it. Then it would be sliced lengthwise and the layers would be filled with cheese…ham salad etc…fancy….the reception took place in the church social hall.
This is a photo of the inside of the church taken from the balcony.
We had fun looking at the backs of the heads in this photo. Many who are now gone. My Maternal Grandmother and Far Guys Maternal Grandmother both wore hats as did our Mothers.
This is the entire wedding party. The gal( my Aunt that was younger than me) on the far left died last spring but the rest of the group are still alive and well.
48 years…it sounds like a long time…but it doesn’t seem that long ago. We know each other well and can finish each other sentences and often are thinking the same thing at the same time. We are still best friends and on good days we both have a wicked sense of humor.
We had planned to spend the day away to see a Grand…but we are supposed to get a bunch of snow and it may be a winter storm so we will spend the day at home. Warm and safe instead of in a snowstorm someplace.
Sixty-five years ago my parents were married. Mom was 20 years old she was just shy of 21, Dad was 23 and a few days shy of 24. They celebrate everything in October, their wedding anniversary and both of their birthdays. They met in May of 1950…as I recall my Mother telling it…they were both someplace Toad Lake maybe and Dad offered to buy her a hamburger and she said no.
October 7 1950
They were married in the evening and a wedding supper was held at my Grandparents home.
My cousin Chuckie was ten years old …he not only got to stay up late but he got to honk the horn all the way from the Toad Lake Church to our Grandparents farm (about six miles). He told me the other day “I remember that day so well!”
My parents went on a honeymoon to Duluth Minnesota a few days after their wedding.
I am not sure where these photos were taken someplace in the Duluth area. Of course this was before selfies…so they had to take turns with the camera.
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!
This photo was taken one year ago when they were married 64 years.
We may be a tad cranky with each other as we age…but we will always be best friends, a shoulder to lean or cry upon and someone to throw you kisses across the room if you are kinda cranky. Someone who can almost read your mind and gets better at it as the years pass you by.
How many years has it been? Forty four..seems like only yesterday or maybe the day before and here we are two daughters and five grands later.
Here is a link to some old wedding photos.
