This morning, on the Radio Arts Foundation's K297BI 107.3 FM, Jim Doyle played Felix Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" from "A Midsummer Night's Dream." He dedicated it to a couple celebrating 41 years of marriage.
My first reaction was, "Best wishes to them; 41 years is a long time."
Immediately after that, however, I thought, "Yes, 41 years is impressive, but I know a couple celebrating 48 years of marriage today."
Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad.
