Today the wife and I celebrate our 42nd anniversary.
We were married June 7, 1969 in Jackson, Minnesota. The temp was in the 90's and so was the humidity and the church wasn't air-conditioned (great weather for growing corn).
A little after noon on that day (I think the wedding was at 2:00) my brother-my best man, my best friend-a groomsman, and I headed for a restaurant/bar (they served only beer) to eat and have something to drink. We were all dressed in suits which made us stand out in this place. There was another guy across the bar from us-he was also dressed in a suit and looked familiar-having a beer. He kept looking at us. Finally he walked over and told us he had to be some place at 2:00 but seeing us there, he wasn't worried about being late. He happened to be Kathy's uncle whom I'd met the evening before at the rehearsal dinner. We made it the church with at least 20 minutes to spare and the rest is history.
Love you, Kathy.
