We got married at the non denominational chapel on the campus at the university where my wife works. We rented it for a few hours for $25. Only family was invited and I hired a friend of mine that is a professional photographer to shoot the wedding and he handed me the film. We had a reception at the local community center that we rented for $40. We took the money we saved and went to the Bahamas for a honeymoon.

We found a preacher to marry us and he insisted on counseling as if we were 18 years old. We were both late 30s at the time. He got into to the routine of asking about the divorces in our family. I told him we just named all the divorce with silence. My parents made it over 50 years before my mom died. My in-laws made it to over 50 years before my FIL died. My brother was married over 15 years at that time and the same for my wife's brother. All my grandparents made it to over 50 years and all of my wifes grandparents did as well.

My great uncle lost his wife after 45 years.

We have been married over 21 years and still happy.

My wife's two nephews were kids when we got married. They since have grown up, got married had kids, got divorced, got married again and had more kids.
