Surprisingly she agreed and we were married the following Friday, 11/12/76. Our reception involved drinks for 4 at the Holiday Inn at 4th & C Streets in Anchorage and our honeymoon involved a weekend stay in that same hotel. We don't even have wedding pictures, but boy do we have memories.
Our memories of our equally simple wedding are sketchy, not because we were drunk but because it was just not a big deal.

As we were driving through Iowa not too long ago I asked DH hey, where did we get married (to test his memory.) He gave a wrong answer. I asked him who was the best man? He gave a wrong answer.

I think it is funny but I suppose some wives would be insulted.
