Ruth and I met on March 5, 1983 and within two months we had decided to get married. But we didn't tell anyone yet because they would have thought we were nuts!
I think it might have been July when we told our parents and friends. The wedding was scheduled for May 12, 1984.
Our first photo together, March 12, 1983.
In September 1983, we went on our first trip together... to England!

We got luggage for Christmas 1983 It must have been a sign!
The invitations have been sent out!
And then the big day arrived. May 12, 1984.

And then it was off on our honeymoon. We took two weeks and drove down to Florida in our 1971 Buick Skylark to go to Disneyworld!

We made it!
I remember that we had dual exhaust installed on that car while we were in the states on that trip because it was cheaper than having it done in Canada! Yes, even back then we were watching our pennies! I remember on the way down, we stopped at an Atlantic City casino, and Ruth limited us to 50 cents in the slot machines!
We stopped and did some exploring in Virginia on the way back.
Anyway, enough reminiscing! Here we are, 42 years later and about to go on a trip around the world to celebrate!

Great deal on this Meat Thermometer.
And in Canada...
Wonderful to see your 1984 photos - you're both nice looking - but Kevin you look about age 12!
