A personal journal about teaching the Bible and ancient Near Eastern history/theology/religion/archaeology to university students in New Orleans, and whatever else happens to be on my mind.

19 Years of Marriage
Today is the first day of Hurricane Season. It is also my wedding anniversary. Therese and I got married on June 1, 1991 in Omaha Nebraska. It's been 6 years of marital bliss and 13 additional years. To mark the event, I spent the day today converting some old VHS into a short digital movie. So feel free to time travel and witness our wedding and reception. Be warned, there is a tornado warning and an Elvis impersonator not wearing underwear. Therese and I met the Elvis impersonator at an Elvis karaoke contest. Elvis won, I got second place, and Therese's version of Hound Dog came in third. I should add that there were only 3 people in the contest. I should also point out that nobody was entirely certain Therese was singing Hound Dog.
Your hair hasn't changed a bit!!!
ReplyDeleteThe years have been very kind to Therese. You...not so much. One would think living with you that long would take its toll on her.
ReplyDeleteso sweet! Happy anniversary to you both!
ReplyDeleteFunny...there's a tornado warning here today, too!
ReplyDeleteThe Elvis impersonator isn't a surprise, but I never would have pegged you two for a traditional wedding. I expected at least a leopard-print cummerbund or wife-beater tux jacket (to highlight the tattoo), or twirling bowtie.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reliving the day. Happy anniversary John & MM
