I HIT THE JACKPOT

I HIT THE JACKPOT!!!

Not many can say they hit the jackpot, but I HIT THE JACKPOT when I met my sweetie back on Christmas Day in 1965.

50 Years of True Love

The link above is our story from the beginning until July 29, 1967 when I became Mrs. Richard!    That was 49 years ago today, yes 49 YEARS  since my sweetie and I have been on our forever honeymoon.   I think back to when my grandmother was making my wedding gown and my mom was making the bouquets and flower arrangements plus our beautiful wedding cake.   My dad was setting up the canopies in the back yard for our reception and we were keeping our fingers crossed that the rain would stop.  And that it did, just in time for our wedding!

As my dad helped me out of the car at the church, I was both happy and nervous.  But that didn’t last long, I was overjoyed when I got into the church.

When we choose the date of July 29th, we didn’t realize the Catholic Saint of the Day was Martha.   Our wedding at St. Anthony’s Italian Catholic Church was just beautiful, the beginning of a beautiful life full of wonderful memories.

We have two beautiful daughters, seven wonderful grandchildren and three, with the fourth on the way in October, great grandchildren. It was an exceptional Mass today, 49 years later with the Priest blessing our marriage.

Who would have thought that I hit the jackpot twice, first when I met Rich on Christmas Day in 1965  and the second time when we were married on July 29, 1967.   We are like two peas in a pod, always together forever and ever, making memories to last a lifetime and more.

    We just celebrated 48 years. I say “”it was a crap shoot and we got lucky”. Amazing – the variety of ways we have grown as a result of each others support. And still growing. Happy Anniversary and many more.

    • Martha says:

      Happy Anniversary to you too Linda! I think the longer people are together, we grow more alike. Looking forward to renewing our vows in the church we were married in up in New York State for our 50th Anniversary. Thanks for visiting and many more to you too!
