Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | ... Mrs. Iffy and I walked down the aisle. Surprisingly, she said "I do". I was thinking "I'll try", but I did the "I do" thing.
Here we are forty years later, having and holding, through the better and worse, the rich and poor times, both through sickness and health, and still loving and cherishing each other!
May each of you be blessed with the same bliss that Patty and I have enjoyed! |

Seriously, thanx for all the well wishes and kind words! Granted the road hasn't always been smooth, but at least we're still bouncin'!
And yes, twisted, all too fast...

| congratulations Johnny and Patty!
very glad you two got it right the first time!
it took us both 3 tries to get the right one.
There's nothing better than being married to your best friend.
you figured it out a lot faster than we did, and they've been the best years of our lives.
we wish many, many more years together to the both of you.
Thanks for the encouragement.
