We both worked for the same company (E.F. Johnson Co., maker of Messenger CB radios) and it was Pat's hometown so we knew lots of people and had lots of friends who attended our wedding. And that's not to mention relatives!
After the ceremony, we gathered at the most popular restaurant in town for a buffet dinner and a great time of socializing.
I can not remember another wedding reception where everyone had such a great time, including the bride and groom.
We spent a night or two in Minneapolis, then headed out on our company-paid honeymoon. How many have done that? I was already living in Miami and the company was moving another employee to Miami from Waseca. The timing was perfect: if we would "deliver" his car to him from Waseca, the company would pay expenses as that was much less expensive than shipping it.
And less expensive for us, too—to say the least.
Tomorrow we will begin our second 35 years of wedded bliss.
Keith and Pat,
