20 Years Betrothed - 08/15/99 10:05 PM

On this date in 1979 I asked for Mariann's hand in marriage. I did this as the sun was rising over Sandy Hook where we went to take some sunrise photos with the camera (the Cannon AE-1 that I still use today) that she had purchased a few months earlier for my birthday.

Lucky me, she said "yes". The fool!

Congrats, Art & Mariann! I'm happy to see both the marriage and camera is still working. I bought a Canon A-1 in 1980 and it stills works great, and I've never had a bit of trouble with it. Lorna & I will be celebrating 31 years of marriage this month. She still works great and I haven't had a bit of trouble with her either...lol !

Bob took the words right out of my mouth! ROTFLMA

Congrats to Art & Mariann for making the big decision 20 years ago! And especially to Lorna for putting up with Bob for 31 years!! (Just kidding Officer Bob!)

So that means I'd better avoid lighthouses at sunrise, sunset, high noon.....?

20 years, heck, you're just starting out!

Congratulations Art and Mariann!

Dave the "real" (we prefer "other") anniversary was on July 02.

Thank you all for your warm replies.

Rich,

You've got it all wrong. It is I who deserve congratulations. Send condolences to Mariann!
