We met at a political rally to get rid of Mayor Rizzo in Philadelphia. Our first anniversary was spent at a Ward Committee meeting.

A four decade-long marriage has its many joys and challenges, and you have successfully navigated through life together, led by love. Many congratulations and good wishes for continued success and happiness.
My wife and I will celebrate our 45th next month.

(54,427 posts)My first vote (and only ever for a Republican) was for Thatcher Longstreth in 1971--when Rizzo first ran for mayor. He was one of the Democratic Party's biggest embarrassments of that decade (after the election, he switched to being a Republican).
My wife and I have 5 years on you two--we met in a smoky cabaret in West Berlin in 1974.
It seems like the time before never existed, doesn't it?
