An Anniversary, in Three Takes

My Parents married sixty-five years ago today. I should be more precise: their civil marriage ceremony occurred on May 15, and they married in a church on May 16. Mom and Dad always underscored this detail because it was another point that distinguished them from Americans.*

I earlier posted photos from their 1948 wedding here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

Mom and Dad celebrated their thirtieth wedding anniversary, in Chicago, in 1978:

Mom still could get Dad started.

And she loved it every time.

Very lucky people.
