My parents were married on November 6th, 1976 in Placentia, Newfoundland at a beautiful catholic church that I grew up going to. 
My Dad was stationed to Argentia, Newfoundland Canada with the Navy. My mom worked at a "slot room" on base where all the navy guys would go and hang out. One night my mom was hanging out at the "slot room" with her girlfriend and met up with her friend was friends with my dad's friend. My mom repeatedly kicked her girlfriend trying to get her to introduce the handsome man to her. My mom pulled out these little figurines out of her pocket that were of a naked man and a naked woman and they were magnets....they were little gag gifts. She faced them back to back to back and they would magnitize toward each other. My dad looked at my mom and smiled. They were inseperable for months until my dad learned that he had to leave and be stationed to California in the States. My dad asked my mom what they should do since they were so in love and my mom said,"Well I guess we'll just get married." They only knew each other for 6 months and look at them today.....32 wonderful years. Its one of my favorite fairy tale stories, it just happens to be my parents.
One day I plan on renewing my vows at that same church. I love the way they love each other, how they know when something is wrong with one another, how to make each other smile. If my marriage is anything like my folks, Brad and I will live happily ever after.
