We celebrated, Oh yes we did 35 years! February 21.1976 - February 21. 2011
It's always fun to reminisce about the years gone by, the fun times and not so fun times. That is what life and marriage is made from, and I Cherish all those times.
Gary and I met on Thanksgiving day Nov. 24. 1975 and were engaged on Dec. 25. 1975
Our engagement photo. I was 19 and Gary was 27. I know 19 sounds so young, but really I was only two weeks away from my 20th birthday. 
Oh my goodness, look at my"70" wedding dress and my vail what was I thinking! LOL and Gary's ruffled shirt and bow tie oh my..I still think he looked pretty darn sexy even in ruffles.
A kiss before leaving to go to the reception.
Did you save and eat a piece of your wedding cake?
And here we are today..A little bit older, OK a lot older and bit more fluffy..and still in Love.
Life is sweet!
"Honey you are my some kind of wonderful that's what you are"
Turn up the song Bear , this song is for you.

Hi Elizabeth,
That is such a sweet story! I love to hear those, you two were so cute and you are so beautiful now. You have both aged extremely well. Of course, it's not like you are old or anything!
Congratulations on 35 years, I am so happy for you.
Hugs, Cindy
Happy Anniversary Elizabeth and Gary! You both are still as wonderful looking as ever.

May you have many more years together.
We are going on 35 too!

You are one beautiful couple...handsome couple? You both look just terrific!! I loved the transport back to 1976. (I was married the first time in 1975 so those styles look completely familiar to me.) Have a fabulous anniversary!
Aww, what a sweet love story. Congratulations on 35 happy years together and may you enjoy many more.
You both look great!!
Oh Congratulations!! Love your sign! yes i did save my cake topper. I had the long dress and Garys tux looks like my boyfriends when we went to prom...with the ruffles.
Think of all you have accomplished, you should be so proud!
You were darling, sugar!!! Oh, I love the old wedding photos and to see what people looked like when they were younger. We're celebrating our 50th in June this year. Plan on going down to Santa Barbara with all the kids I think. Just wanna stay close and not travel outta the country anymore.

Well happy anniversary!!! You two are a beautiful couple...then and now. I LOVE the wedding photos.
I just had a milestone anniversary this month as well...my 25th. I dug out wedding photos and enjoyed the trip down memory lane.
Oh, yes, I remember eating year-old frozen wedding cake. I had never heard of that tradition until I got married and my mother-in-law mentioned it.
Anyhow, wishing you and Gary (my hubs is Gary too) many more years of happiness and love together.
Blessings,
Patti

Congratulations to both of you. You still make a beautiful couple!!! Wishing you many more blessed years
Love the both of you! Congrats on 35 years! We are 28 behind you!
What a handsome couple you are. You've hardly aged a day! :) I am really serious. YOu just look a bit more mature...barely!!
Elizabeth and Gary,
You look like a great couple! Congrats on staying together all these years and being so in love! I wanted to write and say that I really enjoyed seeing your old photos. My husband and I dated in 1971-73 in high school and then went our own ways. We came back together 15 years ago and began dating again and got married. It is so great to be married to someone who has the same memories that you do regarding your life when you were younger. My husband is my true soul mate. Thank you for sharing those great photos and the walk down memory lane! xoxo Kim
