sweet sixteen
(Gary and Maude Rith, 1992 and 2008)
It was a pretty unlikely relationship, from my perspective. How could this gorgeous woman be interested in me? I still ask that. How could this smart, kind, talented person be interested in me? She is, and I am lucky for it and thank God every day. What a smile too.
We got married Christmas Eve 1992 having known each other 3 years but only having dated a very fast 5 months before getting engaged in July and less than a year before getting married at the Drake in Chicago, December 24, 1992.
But then again, maybe I should have known, the ultimate boyfriend-girlfriend test: do you love Queen? She does and that decided it.
Here's My best friend.

Happy Anniversary! What a sweet story.
You asked... Brent and I met July 27th 2002, got engaged Oct 20th 2002 and got eloped to Las Vegas to marry on Jan 11th 2003. Our wedding date was exactly 5 months from the date of our first kiss. We're coming up on our 6th anniversary and I hope we look just as sweet and in love as you two when we reach our 16th!
Happy Anniversary Gary & Maude! Have a wonderful anniversary and holiday together.

Happy Anniversary, you two! To think I was there when it got started. I was visiting Maude and you invited us to your studio near the Chicago zoo. It was Christmas 1991...Sammy the cat was with us then, too.
