Where and how did you meet?<BR/>I was just at home in my Ottawa apartment that I shared with my sister, Betty and my brother, Gary just minding my own business when Gary brought his friend, Bernie over because Bernie had just bought a new 45 record and his player was broken..I happened to answer the door and good thing too as it turned out because Bernie later told me that if he had of seen Betty first, he would have fallen for HER because she was prettier!! The nerve!!<BR/><BR/>2.How long have you known each other?<BR/>We have known each other for 37 years.<BR/><BR/><BR/>3.How long after you met did you start dating?<BR/>The very day!Seeing as Bernie was on midnight shift, he phoned me later and we talked all night. Some first date, eh?<BR/><BR/><BR/>4.How long did yuo date befroe you were engaged?<BR/>Well Betty and I and Gary were moving from Ottawa to St. Catherines, so before we left after knowing Bernie for about two months, I made sure I popped the question before we cleared out! HE said "Yes"!!<BR/>Please don't think ill of me dear Sioux. It HAD to be done because Ottawa is a government city and there are ten girls to every guy!!<BR/>I could not take any chances of losing the guy to a city slicker.<BR/><BR/>5.How long was your engagement?<BR/>About a year.<BR/><BR/>6.How long have you been married?<BR/>As my brother once said when he was asked...25 glorius years...25 out of 35 ain't bad!!<BR/>Hee hee,,,35 happy years I would say Sioux!<BR/><BR/>7.What is your anniversary?<BR/>March 11...NEVER get married in March. It is usually cold still and you get tons of blankets for wedding gifts!<BR/><BR/>8.How many people came to your wedding reception?<BR/>Well we had invited about 120 but somehow my Gramma Golden brought out a whole bunch of other guests on my dad's side of the family...Ya' all come on down to my grandaughter's wedding!!" I met a fourth cousin Lou that I had never met in my life. We had so many extra that our best man had to set up a few more tables to accomodate everyone but oh well the more the merrier, eh?<BR/><BR/>9.What kind of cake did you serve?<BR/>My great Aunt Della made me a real three tiered wedding cake. I think it was a fruit cake.<BR/><BR/>10. Where wer you married?<BR/>We were married in Welland, Ontario<BR/><BR/>11. What did you serve for your meal?<BR/>The meal was great. My mother's side of the family bought all the meat...turkey, beef and cooked it up at home ahead of time. The other part of the family made all the veggies and salads and the Christans from our church baked all the goodies, Bernie and I bought all the pop.<BR/><BR/>12.How many people wer in your wedding party?<BR/>My sister Betty was my maid of honor. She stood up with my brother, Gary who was Bernie's best man.My friend, Marilyn Walker stood up with my bother, Teddy, and Norman and Susan Dube our friends from the church stood up with us also. My little sister, Karen was our flower girl.Grampa Yade [he wasn't Grampa Yade then] was our master of ceromonies.<BR/><BR/>13.Are you still friends with them?<BR/>We were family and friends and we are STILL family and friends!<BR/><BR/>14.Did your spouse cry during the ceromony?<BR/>Yes !! He did!! hmm....second thoughts?WHAT have I DONE!!<BR/>Later on at the reception Mr. Grampa Yade told everyone that Bernie had just tied a knot with his tongue that he couldn't undo with his TEETH...NOT nice!!<BR/><BR/>15.Most special moment of your wedding day?<BR/>My most special moment of my wedding day was when we went back to sign the papers, that I took my engagemnet ring off of my finger and gave it to my brother, Gary whom Bernie and I dearly loved! He had tears in his eyes when he told me, " I will give this to a special girl some day!" And he did just THAT a few years later..<BR/><BR/>16.Any funny moments?<BR/>Yes...The thing about the tongue and teeth!! Funny? Yes! But NOT nice!!<BR/><BR/>17.Any big diasters?<BR/>Yes. When we were driven to our motel, they put us into a motel and we saw a guy sleeping on a bed and he was surrounded by beer bottles.<BR/>Not knowing aobut motels, I said to Bernie.Maybe this is a two bedroom one!"<BR/>Good thing that Norm and Sue Dube were with us. Susan was just so put out did she ever give the motel manager a tongur lashing!!<BR/>The guy had given us the wrong room number!!<BR/><BR/>18.Where did yiu go on your honeymoon?<BR/>Niagara Falls..Romantic, eh? Well it was only 11 miles from Welland. Norm and Sue drove us there and we had to take a cab home three days later!<BR/><BR/>19. How long were you gone?<BR/>Yes..Us too Sioux. Bernie had to be back to work for the midnight shift on Monday.<BR/><BR/><BR/>20. If you were to do your wedding over, what would you change?<BR/>Nope nothing really..well, except one thing. We knew nothing about seatng the guests and my poor great Aunt Della ended up in the very back row. THAT I woould have changed!<BR/><BR/>21. Which side of the bed do you sleep?<BR/>The right side! That way I will never get up on the wrong side of the bed!!<BR/> <BR/>22.What size of bed do you have?<BR/>I am a fat-so. We have a queen size bed. There has to room for that cat too, you know!<BR/><BR/>23. Greatest strength as a couple?<BR/>We share the same intersts in life and both are Chrisians.<BR/>The only time you ever see one without the other is when one of us is working.<BR/><BR/>24. Greatest Challenges?<BR/>Gee, I can't say as if there IS any challenge..I don't know Sioux.<BR/>Except maybe our health.<BR/><BR/>25. Who pays the bills?<BR/>I pay the bills but I really think that Bernie SHOULD be learning how, although the time I broke my leg and was laid up for a while, Bernie was paying the bills and shopping and it DID seem we had a lot of more money left!!<BR/><BR/>26. Your song?<BR/>"Many a Tear Has To Fall"...Cliff Richards<BR/><BR/>27. What did you dance your first dance to?<BR/>Aw Shucks! We didn't HAVE a dance at our wedding..<BR/><BR/>28.Decribe your wedding dress.<BR/>Well you saw my wedding dress on my blog Sioux!<BR/><BR/>29.What kind of flowers did you have?<BR/>I had white mums that were dyed pink!<BR/><BR/>30. Are your wedding band engraved?<BR/>No,,Mine isn't and Bernie doesn't have one..<BR/><BR/>How old were you when you were married?<BR/>We were both 22, I think..<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sioux you darling Thanks for the memories!!....Love Terry<BR/><BR/>Please forgive any spelling errors.<BR/>This took me over an hour to print out!!
