From the beginning of our relationship, we have gravitated toward the simple pleasures of life (especially when we can save money by doing so). Having enjoyed many church potlucks during our premarital years, we decided that our wedding reception (on April 28, 1985) would also be a potluck. Some were shocked at our decision, shuddering “people just don’t do that,” but in the end it proved to be a delicious (and economical) decision. Of course we did have wedding cake for all to share, so we weren’t completely untraditional.

So to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, we are inviting our friends to join us for a potluck at Jastro Park (located at the corner of Truxtun Avenue and Elm Street, just a couple of blocks east of Oak Street near downtown Bakersfield). It seems appropriate to celebrate our “green” anniversary at a park.

Sadly, our 30th wedding anniversary, Tuesday April 28, will apparently be another surgical abortion day in Bakersfield, so we will be observing our anniversary on Monday, April 27. The potluck will start at 6 pm. If you can’t bring a dish to share, please don’t let that stop you from joining us. If you plan to come, please call Tim at (661) 412-2291 so that we can make adequate preparations.

Of course we will have some wedding stories to share at the potluck, along with some surprises, including a musical lie Tim used to help capture Terri’s heart!
