On August 21st, forty six years ago a young man woke up, watched cartoons, put on his finest suit and married the love of his life. She just happened to be my mother and she was gorgeous. They both were, like actors from a romantic movie.
Thankfully I wasn't there but the 8 mm video of that day shows two of the happiest people I've ever seen who couldn't wait to spend the rest of their lives together. And that first kiss my dad planted on her outside a conservative Catholic Church - woah! It was quite a display of affection for that time which says it all.
This is their song. http://youtu.be/29uNvGHsRlc by the We Five. And we five children thought of him often during our D.C. vacation. He always wanted to go... Happy hour just wasn't the same.
