Sunday Show and Tell #6

Time once again for Mel’s Sunday Show and Tell.

Today is my parents’ 40th wedding anniversary. Can you even imagine being married for FORTY YEARS??? I guess that’s hard for me to fathom, since it’s longer than I’ve been alive. But wow.

When they got married my dad had just turned 20 and my mom was about to turn 21. Their parents had to sign paperwork giving them permission to get married because in Missouri in 1968, you had to be 21 to get married. Can you imagine the 20 year old you getting married? I sure can’t. I think of who my choice of a spouse would have been at that point in my life and I shudder. Thankfully, they chose wisely.

Here they are, 40 years ago today. Mere babes, aren’t they?
