You got married on Freddie Mercury’s birthday AND the day On the Road was published? COOL.
(congratulations!)
Happy Anniversary! What an auspicious
Happy anniversary! Let’s see…Freddie Mercury sang “You’re my Best Friend” and “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.” Either of those apply to the marriage?? Hopefully not “I’m in Love With my Car”!
Definitely “You’re my Best Friend”. I met dasHusband when I was 16 and he was 18, and for years we were both busy dating other people and commiserating with one another. It took three years before we got the bright idea that maybe we should date each other.
Happy Anniversary!
Look how young Jonny Cash was when that album came out.
Ahhh what a sweet wedding picture!
