Congratulations and Happy Anniversary! So young, so long ago! I can certainly relate to that. You have built a beautiful life together and a beautiful family. That's wonderful.
Hello, happy to meet you, I just popped over from Jabblog's blog. Enjoyed my visit. Congratulations and Happy 47th Wedding Anniversary. Great photos through the years.
Wow! Congratulations! In comparison, the average marriage in the US is about 9 years ~ In Greece it's about 20 years. You guys are doing great. Romeo and I were married in 1979 too!
Wow, congratulations! What an accomplishment. My husband and I just celebrated 10 years, he got me a new kitchen cabinet painting to celebrate. Cheers to you!
