48 years ago today
Time flies. 48 years ago today, clad in Jeans and sweatshirts, Cindy & I stood in a Reno courtroom, saying "I do". Now sitting here, amazed we stayed together and have lived this long...sharing tragedies and joyful times both.
Nothing special planned...later, a Mustang run to a restaurant we enjoy...one overlooking the lake we used to sail a dingy on...

Excellent my friend!
Joy and I tied the knot 15 months after. Oh the 70s. We think back to those kids we were and wonder how we had the sense to recognize the things we needed from each other. Pure dumb luck, I guess. Happy Anniversary! Best Les

Well, sometime I was dingy when sailing a dinghy...we had a little 15' Chrysler Mutineer. Lots of fond memories...

And here I thought we were the only ones that used that courthouse in Reno.
Congrats! We'll be celebrating #43 in Nov.

Congrats Paul and Cindy! It is a blessing to find someone to spend your life with.
Recently, a study was done that showed couples who spent the least for a wedding were the most likely to be married the longest. You have shown that to be true. Have a wonderful dinner!

Just got off the phone with Cindy...she said you had pics.
We are waiting  I kid, Paul. I simply cannot fathom my life without my wife of 33 years. It makes no sense to me. I hope we make it to 48!

Thanks folks. No probably about it..mostly Cindy...she's the glue that binds.
Scott, maybe some magic in that small courthouse room? Must have been. At least for us.
