Happy 50th Anniversary Sam & Carolyn

We had a great Labor Day weekend celebrating Joe's parents 50th anniversary. According to the USA Government Stats only about 5% of marriages make it to 50 years.

Here is my favorite story that was told by Carolyn ..... Just before the reception, unbeknownst to Carolyn, Sam and his best man traded tuxedo jackets. Sam is tall and his best man was short, so the sleeves were way too short. Sam comes up to Carolyn and shows her that they "got the wrong suit coat" from the tuxedo shop. Of course Carolyn knew that there was no time to get the right size so she said, "Well just stand behind me, people come only to look at the bride anyway."

That is a funny story. She's right though. Who cares what the groom looks like. I love the picture!

I can see where Joe gets his great sense of humor. That is really funny.
I wish we lived closer so we could hang out while our boys are at kindergarten.

Yes, Joe must get his humor from his Mom. That is too funny!
