It's true...I Struck Gold on my Silver Wedding Anniversary!
Really, if the truth be known I Struck Gold on December 27th, 1965 in Juarez, Mexico when I married HiHoney!
Yep, we eloped! I posted about that last June...Juno, The Goddess of Love, Ole'.
If you go there you'll read how HiHoney and I were Legally Married in Mexico, but Livin' InSin In Texas!
That was Forty-Five years ago...come this December 27th!
That was Forty-Five years ago...come this December 27th!
Here we are in 1990 on our Silver Wedding Anniversary....Twenty years ago...framed and posed in the Golden Oak Acorn China Cabinet!
Only fitting...as the Acorn China Cabinet, Table and Chairs was my
Twenty-Fifth Wedding Gift from HiHoney.
See I told you he was worth his weight in Gold....well okay...Golden Oak...and it really is Heavy!
During the Month of November, I am featuring 'The Acorn China Cabinet' and the Collections it has held during the last Twenty years.
You will see some of The Collection if you visit Juno, Goddess of Love, Ole'.
The Desert Gold Domed Butter Server is featured in the Header and in the post below...The Acorn China Cabinet...A Family Heirloom in the Making.
And, did you know that the Month of November is considered the Golden Month? Well, at least by this Girl Raised In Texas....so, here's a Golden November Poem and a Golden Pumpkin for your Alphabe~Thursday Collection.
Golden Gals for more of the Letter G.
PS...Just in case you don't have time to read about the Legality of Our Mexico Weddin', I thought I'd better let you know that in 1965 Mexico Marriages were not recognized in the State of Texas....until the Mexican Certificate of Marriage was Registered in a Texas Courthouse. HiHoney and I registered ours a week later. Whew! It would surely be Scandalous...our Celebrating Our Golden Anniversary of Livin' InSin!
G'day Sue ~ Your first pic just melts me .. I love those rings entertwined ... you both are beautiful in the picture ... how rich & beautiful a share.

Congrats on the Anniversary! My grandparents really did live in sin for about a week. They inadvertently crossed county lines, which nullified the marriage. They hurried and got re-married in the proper county, but my grandmother always used the first date as the anniversary.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I love it! The post office had stamps with the gold wedding bands. I bought them because I liked that idea. Something classic and reasonable. You are one groovy gal and GRIT! I love listening to your stories. Goodness!Thanks Anne
ReplyDeleteFantastic that you built such a solid long lasting marriage. What a special and beautiful relationship to have.
ReplyDeleteIn french we would congratulate you for 25 years of prison, lol !
ReplyDeleteThe whole "living in sin" aspect of it makes it all the more memorable and special.
ReplyDeleteTime is a wonderful thing, memories made and remembered. Congrats and many happy more years to you both!
ReplyDeleteLove the rings, so very spiritual to me.

ReplyDeleteI love your 25 anniversary vignette.
I love to read about people who are actually still happy and in love after 45 years! Some things were just meant to last a lifetime!!
ReplyDeleteI second Judie's sentiment. It is truly wonderful that you and HiHoney are still together and in love. Congratulations! La
ReplyDeleteI just had to go back and read about your wedding. So when did Texas change that requirement? I'm assuming it no longer exists. Enjoyed the story and your family heirloom in the making.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and Hihoney Sue. I love your elopement story. How romantic. I think you both got a catch. A very sweet love story.
ReplyDeleteThe butter dish is beautiful. Now I am scrolling sown to see the posts I have missed. I can't wait to see the acorn china cabinet. Smile.
Bill and I were married in 1963. Fifty years is coming fast. It is hard to believe all those years have gone by.
Sending you wishes for many more years of happiness.
Hugs, Jeanne
