August 29, 1987
Los Lobos were on top of the US charts with “La Bamba.” In the UK it was Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” Nolan Ryan passed the 200-strikeout barrier for a record 11th time. Ronald Reagan was President, Margaret Thatcher was the British PM, Brian Mulroney was the PM in Canada. Actor Lee Marvin died that day as well.

It was a really warm Saturday afternoon in Denver, Colorado. The church was pretty full. The bride was crying happy tears. The preacher got angry when someone stood up to take a picture of the bride and groom. They were certainly very young, she was 23, He was 22.
When they left the church, there was about 2 pounds of birdseed tossed in the air. Some of it got stuck in the bride's corset.

The bride and Groom made their way to the reception venue slowly. The Groom’s aunties were providing the food, it was good and it was plentiful. There was no dancing as the Groom doesn’t dance.  There was a string quartet playing quietly.  There was, however, lots of hugging, and more tears.

After the food was gone and people had eaten some cake the bride and Groom made their way to a nice hotel for the night. They decided to order a pizza and have a shower. He helped her out of the dress and corset, wiped the birdseed off and told her He loved her. After they showered, they called for pizza, turned on the Denver Broncos preseason game (Denver 24 - LA Rams 20) and promptly fell asleep. The pizza delivery guy woke them about 30 minutes later. 

That was 34 years ago. A lot has happened in those years. 2 cats, 5 dogs, 9 cars, 3 kids. 10 different addresses. 2 different states. It wasn’t all pretty, there were some really dark times. Even looking back, it’s sometimes hard to believe that they made it through. The one constant has been their love for each other. And the laughter.

She told Him today, she’d do it all over again.

Congratulations to Phil and yourself. Thirty-four years together is certainly a milestone worth celebrating. I hope you've had a celebration of some sort and that any tears were joyful ones. 

Congratulations again. xo

Awww... Congratulations to you and Phil! 

You're spot on when you say a lot has happened over the years. I'm sure there are lots of happy and beautiful memories. 

(Your countdown made me think...I can't remember all the moves we've done!)

Enjoy your evening and each other!
