45 years?
 
Didn't think I'd live to be 45, let alone be married that long. But here we are...

On 27 June 1975 Cindy & I both said "I do" in the courthouse of Reno, Nevada. Neither of us had a clue what the following years would bring.

Never big on large celebrations, we just had a nice dinner at a restaurant we like that overlooks Foster reservoir lake, where we used to dinghy sail. Great prime rib...

Even managed to indulge in a little bit of "car guy" talk with a guy there who had his nicely done '64 Falcon sprint in the parking lot...done well, it was running the right stuff. well built 302, suspension bits, 9" rear end, 4 speed. Nice metallic blue paint with no stripes. Great work on the upholstery. Just a really sweet ride. Ahhh, nostalgia. He probably wasn't alive when his car left the factory. Nice to know the beat goes on.

A beautiful summer evening. Everybody smiling, happy to just be out in semi normalcy.

Yes, we were both well aware of being in the high risk Chinese flu group. Sometimes, you just have a need to take a risk. That was us last night.

Congrats Scott...Goes to show ya, the big fancy and costly wedding isn't what determines whether the marriage is a good one or not...it's what happens after the wedding that matters.

Thanks guys...

Congrats to both you and Cindy!!! 45 years is quite the accomplishment.

We, too, eloped at the courthouse right outside Ft. Benning, GA. 21 years and counting for us.

Wow.
Congrats to you and the others with all those years together. Very impressive, I only made 20 before it ended but I’m 5 years into a new one I hope lasts forever. However long that may be.

Congratulations. 45 years is a long run, and easy next step to big 50.

We hit 30 years next March. We have a long way to go.

Congrats Paul to you and Cindy. Quite a milestone. May many more bless your lives.

RNajarian 06-28-2020 12:23 PM

Impressive! Says a lot about both of you. Here’s to 45 more!

Seahawk 06-28-2020 01:13 PM

Very nice, Paul. Well done.

Rebecca and I just celebrated 30 years of bliss...tering happiness:D

I'd run the tape back and start again tomorrow.

There is a line from a c&w song struggling to get out!

Congratulations Paul. Mrs oldE and I are twenty months behind you.

Best

Congratulations, well done. Very few can reach that milestone today. The sheer selflessness and devotion to one another, the ability to work out problems, reach compromise, and just get along are truly unique attributes these days. You guys have every right to be proud.

Lori-Jo and I will hit 35 years next year. Just kids, I know...

DaveE 06-28-2020 02:34 PM

Congratulations! I met Patty 50 years ago this July. In 2 weeks we’ll celebrate 47 years of marriage. It sure has gone by fast!

LWJ 06-28-2020 05:22 PM

Congratulations!!!

cabmandone 06-28-2020 05:40 PM

Congrats! Been happily married for 20 years... and out of 25 total, that ain't all bad. :D

My parents just celebrated their 59th. I got the line above from my dad.

Hope it was a great day for the both of you.

Good for you. Congratulations!
