32 years ago today...

Post by JT »

JT and BT got married. We quietly called her Mom and Dad and my brother and his wife and got married in the non-denominational minister's front yard. We then all went to dinner at a place called the Comus Inn. The next morning we took off in a 1965 VW bus that I paid $100.00 for and spent a week fixing up. It ran flawlessly, all 6 volts and 40 horsepower, and we wandered around WV,KY,TN,NC,VA for about a month together with our 100lb German Shepard and had a great, long, strange trip. 32 years and 2 grown kids later, she's still the love of my life, the moon still shines over her shoulder, and we're still partying hard. Hoping for an island trip this fall.
Peace and harmony,JT

She's the luckiest lady in the world. (And it seems you may be the luckiest man).

So sweet. XO

Congratulations, you two!

I hope you get to the island this fall too. There are some terrific discounts if you travel before Halloween.
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

Happy anniversary!

You are great proof that a wonderful marriage is not all about an expensive, showy wedding, but about the love of two people and the commitment they make to each other. Here's to many, many more wonderful years!
