40 years

Today is my Mum and Dad's 40th wedding anniversary. Which, in case you couldn't work that out, means they got married 40 years ago today.

I wasn't there, but from what I hear, the guests wore some amazing 70s outfits, my Nan (Mum's Mum) wore a lovely hat, as did my Grandad, and my  Granny got drunk when a couple of her 6 sons thought it would be a laugh to put whiskey in her Babycham. Good times.

Well, 40 years and two amazing children (OK, my words, not theirs) and there's more drinking and eating to celebrate. Well, we are Irish, after all.

Happy Ruby Wedding anniversary, Mum and Dad.

    I got some Irish in me (no...a Gay Irish guy is not penetrating me right now) I thought it was in out tradition to dance around trees in the morning drinking to the Sun god....everymorning....don't even need trees...shit...could be evening and everyone just pretends it's morning ;)

    Congrats to the Fam for holding it together :)
