It Was 20 Years Ago Today...

"It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play..." (Oops, wrong song for this occasion.)

Rick & Lynn - Saturday August 31, 1991.
Today is the 20th anniversary of my wedding with Lynn. The weather was beautiful: pleasantly warm with a sunny blue sky. We had a simple ceremony: no fancy outfits or huge bridal party; no lavish reception with a disc jockey or band; and no drunken dancing. We wore clean Sunday outfits; Amy brother Mark was Best Man, Lynn's friend, Diane, was Maid of Honor. The reception was held immediately after mass. We had it in the dining room of the private school where Lynn's mom worked; the wedding cake was a carrot cake made by the chef at HSB; instead of a band, we had a string quartet composed of high schools students.  What a day!

"Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end,
we'd sing and dance for ever and a day;
We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never loose,
For we were young, and sure to have our way."

"And they lived happily ever after..." (hahaha).
