I'm slow getting started, but who says this thread can't last longer than just the 15th of December?

25 years ago today, my friends Tom and Linn got hitched, and today, on their silver anniversary, they still radiate love. I hope you've both had a great day and I wish you many more love-filled anniversaries!

Love,
Jeri

Thanks, everyone! But it's not actually our WEDDING anniversary, but our "Other Anniversary" -- a double anniversary of the night we met (at a Christmas party at Fishtraks recording studio) and the night a year later when, while celebrating having known each other for a year, we decided to get married -- which we did six months later on June 26, 1982.

It's great having an excuse to party every six months!!!

Yeah, Tom and I "met cute" -- and since there was a snowstorm that night, I invited Tom and banjo-playing Bob Frost to sleep on the floor of my miniscule apartment. Despite the crisis of the next morning (I not only had NO COFFEE but only one coffee cup), Tom never actually moved out. ;-)

And life's been grand ever since! Not only have we never run out of things to talk about, but he still actually sings a song occasionally that I've never heard him sing bfore. A few months ago he did it TWICE!

It's your fault then, because you told me about both anniversaries and I got confused. I wasn't really remembering or dealing with the inconsistency of pictures of leafy green with a December anniversary -- it might have hinted at something being not quite right.

You've still been together for 25 years. What's the date of the actual wedding ceremony? I'll happily refresh the thread as "The Anniversary, Part II."

Dear Tom & Linn,
Well, it sounds like the meeting is something well worth celebrating, whatever day you decided to make it formal. Much love to you both, this day and all others, for many years to come.

Wow, how could I miss this one.

Tom, all one has to do is look at Linn's lovely face, especially when she smiles, and know why you fell in love with her. Her beauty and goodness just shine through. And she fell in love with one of my favorite lefties. How does it get any better. I am so happy for the both of you.

I hope the worst day of the next 25 years is no worse than the best day so far.

Happy Anniversary to you both,

All the best,

Mick
