36 years ago...

On a rainy Spring day in Johannesburg, we got married surrounded by some family and friends. 

Thirty six years later, 2 kids, 1 grandchild (exactly 1 week old), a few white hairs (me), a lot of white hairs (my husband), wrinkles and a few more kilos (both of us) and here we are celebrating our love.

Hopefully we will be able to celebrate this date for many years to come...
Tonight, we will go out to dinner.

    1. Obrigada Sandra, tenho um marido amoroso. Se alguém diz que estou bem conservada, ele diz que é porque me trata bem, lol. Mas é verdade!

    1. Thanks Marianne, the baby could have waited another week and then we would have a double celebration.
