KINDNESS

Meeting new friends is often hard but remember what the famous Winnie the Pooh said,

You can't stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you.  You have
to go to them sometimes.

Who hath a better friend than their beloved pet.

Happy 46th Anniversary to my mom and dad.
February 14, 1970.


Due to the kindness of the US Marine Corps my peeps were married on Valentine's Day.
YEP it is true.
When they became engaged on August 9, 1969, Dad was in the Marine Reserves.  He asked his commanding officer what weekend in February 1970 the weekend drill would be held.
Well they didn't know that far in advance so my peeps selected 2 PM, February 7, 1970.
They reserved the **church, caterer, baker, florist, organist, photographer, vocalist and church reception hall.  Remember this is 1969, no cell phones, no emails, no World Wide Web.  
Just Ma Bell and the good old US Postal Service.
In early December 1969, mom was about to send the wedding invitations to the printer.
She received a call from DAD saying....hold your horses don't mail them.  My reserve meeting is going to be February 7 and 8.  They decided on the next weekend which was February 14, 1970.  They had to do some hustling to see if the ** were available on 2/14/70 at 2 pm.  Everybody was ok with  2/14/70 but not 2 pm.  There was another wedding at 2pm but that reception was not
at the church.  So they changed the time to 4 pm.  And as they like to say the
REST IS HISTORY!!!

Thank you for joining us to celebrate several special moments that are and always have been beautiful.

    Gail says that may couples spending years and tens of thousands of pounds agonising about planning the perfect weeding could learn a lot from your Mom and Dad.

  5. What a sweet day to have for an anniversary! I bet your humans celebrate every day. Okay, well, maybe not EVERY day (says my human who has been with her boyfriend for 22 years and knows about these things), but most days.

  23. That is so beautiful!
    And happy anniversary to your peeps!!! Our mom and dad had to arrange their wedding around the US Army, so mom totally understands. But then ... most of what they did up until a handful of years ago centered around the Army, so there you go. They ended up getting married between moves!
    Yours sincerely,
