Four months

What’s something you’re surprisingly sentimental about?

I was in grade 12, sitting in French class and I remember blurting out “it’s my parents anniversary today”. I’m not sure why I felt the need to announce that to the rest of the class, as well as the teacher, but I did.

I guess I’ve always loved their love story.

They were married in November of 1969, after a whirlwind four month courtship. Four months, yep. It’s pretty shocking considering they are both very pragmatic, practical and down to earth people.

I guess they just knew.

I feel blessed to have been planted in that kind of foundation.

This was part of a text from Mom a few weeks ago when Bella-Lena searched online and found the news clipping from the announcement of their wedding in the paper

  1. When you know, you know! I’d never advise someone to marry so quickly, but this isn’t the first time I know of a happily ever after following a very short courtship. Good for your mom and dad.
