LOL! Best story ever!
Thanks Sharon! All these years and it still makes me smile!
John and I were married May 7 1993. It was my 2nd marriage + 11 years with someone else.. and John's 3rd marriage! We made a promise that we had to stay married for at least 40 years! Now, knowing the history....it looked like a tough up hill battle! LOL! Well in May it will be 28 years and we keep reminding each other that we have at least 12 years of a commitment! LOL! One thing we did from the start...was that no matter what the ups and downs were we always said "I love you" before going to sleep "3rd time is a charm"...

To tell the whole story would take too long. I met my 2nd wife (Karen) at church in Denver, CO while I was at Lowry AFB for 4 months of advanced schooling in July 1972. The 1st Sunday I was there I attended University Hills Baptist Church. The gentleman who greeted me, showed me to the singles class. The last seat in the room was next to a cute young lady with frosted brunette hair & octagonal glasses. Fast forward to Thanksgiving 1972. I stopped in Denver to see friends on my way to Udorn, Thailand and attended church with them that Sunday. Karen, who was a 2nd LT in the Air Force told me she had orders to Goose Bay, Labrador reporting in March 1973. She gave me her address & asked if I would send her some jewelry which could be purchase CHEAP in Southeast Asia. Forty-three letters later, the last letter I wrote her before I left Thailand, I asked her to marry me. I called her when I stopped in Denver and she said yes. Our 1st kiss was a week before we were married. We celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary last August.

Shot on Russian Beach in Lordship, Judy
Some that suggest love stories:
Judy you asked for it...LOL...hang on.
We met while on middie cruise* in Québec. Well I spoke no French and she spoke only a tiny bit of school-learned English and with letters and occasional visits on leave we finally got married. Ha, at the wedding the priest told me to say ''Oui je le veut'' (''Yes want it'')**. I was on leave and we went back to the U.S. Upon my discharge we returned here to Québec.
Exciting life? We have cycletoured three times from here to Stratford, CT. For our 25th we cycletoured for a month in France, Belgium & Holland. We have visited ten countries and our love has now reached 60 years
*You Navy guys know these.
**Years later I asked the priest here if i could cancel the marriage because I did not know what I was saying LOL
