Married on June 21st 1958 which is Mid Summer Day in England.
I was actually on embarkation leave for Changi Singapore, as my posting came through while we were planning the day. We had to include a "codicil" in the invitations that the date may be brought forward in a hurry if I was posted before the wedding date. Even the Vicar was prepared to change at short notice!
We are booked on an Asian cruise in January 2009. This will be our major celebration but in order to mark the day we had a long weekend away at a "swish" hotel in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast south of Brisbane.
We had an apartment in the Gold Tower on the left. The larger tower sports a revolving restaurant on the top floor where the seafood buffet and desserts are "to die for" ! Valet parking and daily room service made for an enjoyable and relaxing weekend.

We are looking forward to a few more years together, the next big one is Diamond !
