On a beautiful Easter Sunday afternoon, April 21, 1946, Alfred A.
Elling and Virginia Dershem were married in St. Paul's Lutheran Church,
Napoleon, Ohio.
God willing, they will celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary this month!
Mom has always said she married Dad for his money. He always said he
married Mom for her pretty legs. They are quite the couple, keeping
their humor through the years!
Some "love and marriage" quotes:
*
A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership,
tolerance, and tenacity. The order varies for any given year. ~Paul
Sweeney
* A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. ~Mignon McLaughlin
* Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery
* A happy marriage is a long conversation that always seems too short. ~Andre Maurois
* Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. ~Marcel Proust
And the BEST is yet to be.
