This is it: 50 years of marriage between Gary Ronald and Julie Lyn. 50 years. Half a century.
It all started, officially at least, on December 28, 1958 in Stevensville Montana at the United Methodist Church. (see photographic evidence to the right).
After the ceremony and the legendary "shiveree", the couple honeymooned in Salt Lake City. What is a shiveree anyway? And does anyone else even use that term for what most people call "hazing"? Seriously, when is the last time you heard the word "shiveree" in conversation by someone OTHER than our Dad?
But I digress... Shiveree wouldn't be the first, nor the last in new additions to the English language thanks to this now blessed union. But we'll get to that in more detail later.
This blog is for family and friends to share thoughts about , wishes and advice to Gary and Julie as part of this celebration.
So post away! And hopefully we'll see as many of you as possible on the 27th of December for the Open House.
