    A happy note...

    Hey all-

    I just wanted to share a little bit of fun- yesterday was my parent's 40th wedding anniversary! Not bad for a blind date, huh? They knew of each other (and didn't like the first impression, to put it mildly!) but they went to the Homecoming party at Pitt in Nov. 1962 and were married 12/21/63! They went to NYC for the weekend and my dad gave my mom a really pretty pair of ruby and diamond earrings (40 is the 'ruby' anniversary) and my mom gave my dad a copy of the portraits we took in Central Park last January (remember, we froze?) framed in red leather.

    They're so cute, it's disgusting!

      Aww, that is sweet! I love hearing about couples who are together for so long like that--it seems to be rare in this day and age!

        Yay! I love hearing these stories, too! 8) It says some people do make it. Lots of people. We can too.

          Thats so sweet! I have to say that my parents will be married for 30 years this year and met on a blind date, and my husbands parents who have been married a bit longer also met on a blind date. I've never even been on one. Maybe it was more popular than it is today, though my knowledge of the dating scene even before I got married probably sub par.
