Anniversary

55 years ago today, my parents got married. They were on Spring Break from their respective Universities in different states, and my father studied for an Astronomy exam on their honeymoon. They married in Minnesota, where my father was from, and I'm not even sure if my mother's parents made the trip from Rochester, New York.

In keeping with the laid-back tone of the wedding itself, I don't recall my parents celebrating their anniversary particularly, not even the 25th or 30th. Seems like my own romantic nature was not acquired from them.
