We had been to a dance and at 2-o-clock in the morning and still in the car doing what most courting couples do, I said to her, I love you and she replied, how much do you love me and I said enough to marry you, and that was it, we were hooked
I received this little poem tonight from one of our bridesmaids and as it has a mention of Bulgaria I though I would share it with you all
45 YEARS AND STILL COUNTING
45 Years ago Today you were a very radiant bride they say,
You walked down the isle to meet your man, who couldn’t wait to take your hand.
You moved from your homeland to stay with your Aunt,
It was through her that you met the man who stole your heart.
You were just 18 when you met;
it was love at first sight, I bet!
The man of your dreams could sprint a good mile, and this always made you really smile.
So on February 25th In 1967 you tied the knot there in Reading, St Andrew’s church was the venue you chose,
and then on to reception at Grosvenor House where you both became the perfect host and everyone gave you a good luck toast.
You had two lovely children a girl and a boy,
Who took up a good part of your life, at times Bryan would think “do I still have a wife”
You now have grandchildren not one but four, and at times with all their toys you cannot even see your floor.
You have stuck by each other through thick and thin and often you felt like a dusty bin.
You then got yourself a holiday home, Bulgaria was the place you chose, so let’s hope you can enjoy it for many years to come and still love each other until kingdom come.
