You’ve heard of 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later…how about 28 Years Later??


12-18-1982


Date unknown, but more recent!

Yep, John and I have been married 28 years as of today!  He is a wonderful man, and I am extremely lucky.  We were married in a small ceremony at the Landmark Center in St. Paul.   The eyeglasses sure give away the era, don’t they?  And I am wearing a handknit mohair sweater — I was never one for the big meringue wedding dresses! 

I love you, John!!  Thanks for sticking with me all these years!

  14. Happy Anniversary! We were married in the Landmark Center, too, 20 years ago, in the Chief Justice room. No fairy princess bride for me either.

  24. How sweet, how touching: congratulations to you both.
    What fashion sense, a hand knit mohair sweater rather
    than yards of meringue. Admirable example.
