My parents. At their wedding. 1974.
My parents have been married for 36 years. And when the got their very first ATM (Tillie) card, they chose their anniversary date as their PIN. But somehow they picked the wrong date. And ever since then they get confused on the date of their wedding. Well, they might actually remember it, but once they told me that story, *I* could never remember their wedding date. So, their anniversary is either today or tomorrow. Or yesterday. I think.
Regardless, I’m so thankful my parents have loved each other for over 30 years!

It really is wonderful to have parents who are still in love! I’m thankful for mine (26 years and counting…).

Thanks honey for remembering this! I know I put make up on that day- but you sure can’t tell!!
It was yesterday 8/3 and once again I was confused by the date. Didn’t even think about it once. Walked into my office late in the afternoon and saw this FTD florist box on my desk. At first I thought- what in the world is this thing? Then I realized it was August- but my first thought was- Oh Darrell sent this a day early. I had to go to my computer and look at the date and think- “Is this our anniversary?!” When I called Daddy he said he was worried he was sending the flowers a day early! Whew…you’d think after 36 years we could remember the date!

I really enjoy your blog! :0)
I am a victim of identity theft, so I speak from experience…now that all your readers have a good idea of your parents’ ATM PIN, I think it’d be a great idea for them to change it to something totally unrelated to the date of their wedding anniversary.
What a cute picture! My husband and I were married in 1976, so I can relate! (Our daughter is also a blogger, Christi from Frugal Novice)
Super cute picture! It’s almost like your mom is saying “what the date today?”
Ha ha, such a sweet story!

A similar thing happened with my birth date. It’s June 27, but for a while we celebrated on the 26. Your parents look so young! Hooray for true love and going the distance!

They really haven’t changed hardly at all. Still as good looking as ever.
I love the big eyes on both the bride and the groom. They look so happy and excited about the future.
