Happy 34th Anniversary!

Today John and I have been married for 34 years!  I remember the day like it was yesterday.   We got married on a very hot, humid morning, 11:00 a.m. to be exact.  The night before my Mom, sisters and my other bridesmaids stayed at a local hotel.  We got ready the next morning for the wedding.  Then my sister, Sue and I went over to my future in-laws house where the horse and carriage was waiting for us.  We rode right through River Edge, NJ to St. Joseph's Church.  While we were riding the carriage we had to go down a slight hill when the horse slipped.  Luckily the driver was really experienced and was able to keep the horse going.  We rode past the place where I had gotten my hair done and they all were standing outside the shop cheering for me as I rode by!  That was really cool!  We arrived at the church and a breeze started up.  I went inside the Church and my grandfather (who was giving me away) was waiting for me.  We started to walk down the aisle when it was time and I couldn't help but looking for John's eye.  He was smiling and he winked at me!  We said our vows and just as we started to walk down the aisle as man and wife the wind came through the church doors and slammed them!  The ushers opened them and we went out to the horse and carriage.  The wind came up because rain was on its way.  We got in the horse and carriage with my sister, Sue who was my maid of honor and John's friend, Stan who was his best man.  We rode to the Oradell, NJ train station for pictures.  Just as we finished the picture taking, it started to sprinkle.  We rode the carriage to the reception hall, which was only across the street from the train station.  As soon a we got inside the skies opened up and it rained and rained!!  My mother-in-law told me it was good luck when it rains on a wedding-some Irish saying she said.  Well I guess John and I have been blessed with good luck-here we are 34 yrs. later and still in love!!!

Love you sweetie!!!
