Twenty-Five Years Ago...

Twenty-Five Years Ago... - 12/31/00 05:49 AM

On December 31, 1975, A small group of friends and family gathered in Davenport Iowa to witness our Wedding at Edwards Congregational Church.

We thought it would be a neat day to be married - on New Year's Eve. Certainly would be a hard date to forget.

But while the wedding was nice, each anniversary, it's been hard to find a place to celebrate. Most nicer restaurants have "New Year's Eve Packages" which require something more than just a quiet dinner.

But we've managed to celebrate at home with an occasional 'dinner' out early in the afternoon.

Like most marriages, I suspect, ours have been filled with great times and a few tough ones too. But as we turn calendar to a new millenium, we're still enjoying each other's company and companionship and sharing our love for and from our 15 year old son, Chris.

Forever yours, Suzie...

John

25 calls for more than a quiet dinner, John? Or is that all you care to reveal? Happy 25, John and Suzie!

Well then...HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, JOHN & SUZIE!

One of my former co-workers and her hubby chose New Year's Eve for their wedding. They enjoy celebrating their anniversary on New Year's Eve. You're right about the problems of finding a nice place to enjoy a special dinner. Most every restaurant around these parts has a limited menu and are severely overcrowded on December 31.

You two have a ways to go to catch Lorna & I. We will be celebrating year 33 in 2001.

Happy New Year, and once again, Happy Anniversary!
