[Then.]
That’s my wife, Elaine Fine, standing outside the Boston Children’s Museum in 1984. It was probably spring. We were being very arty with the black-and-white. Elaine and I were married on September 30, 1984. Holy wedlock, Batman! Or in our case, unholy, secular wedlock, courtesy of a justice of the peace. Thirty years: the best thirty years of our lives.
This past Saturday, after we visited a sewing-machine store and art-supply store in a faded mall, we stood in front of a mirror and took a picture to send to our children. I didn’t realize that the result would be a mirror image of the 1984 photograph.
[Now.]
Elaine has posted a drawing that I made before our wedding.
Happy Anniversary, Elaine!
[May marriage soon be for all partners.]

Happy anniversary, Michael and Elaine. I hope the coming years are happier, healthier and more memorable than the ones you're leaving behind.
Thanks, Martha, and thanks, George.
Happy anniversary! I have you beat, having been joined in wedlock by a justice of the peace in 1982. Except for the wear and tear, I don't really feel like it has been 32 years, that's for sure. And I bet you and Elaine don't either. I wish you another 30 years of things just getting better and better.
Umn, wow. I thought that was a recent photo. Are you guys some sort of immortals!? As for me, I was born in the Autumn of 1982, so I look rather different now that I did when you guys took this picture.
I hope that I look just as lovely in 30 years as your wife does now, and also that boyfriend and I (of 8+ years) are just as happy.
Many happy returns to you both. I think this is a lovely season for a wedding. :)
P.S. find any good Supplies on that mall trip?
Thanks, Julia, and thanks, Berit. Yes, the time seems to have gone by quickly. And yes, fall is a good time for a wedding.
The only supplies from that expedition: thread and fabric. We learned that short fibers and overdyeing can cause colored thread to jam, so Elaine bought some top-of-the-line thread. (She was thinking that maybe it was time for a new machine.)
She's lovely. Good for both of you.
Happy anniversary, you crazy kids!
Thanks, Zhoen, and thanks, Diane.
