Funny story: I had saved one bottle of champagne and a piece of the wedding cake. For twenty years. The cake was in the freezer, the champagne was in the fridge. After 20 years, the cake was freeze-dried, and tasted even worse than it did when it was fresh - though we both agreed that was pretty amazing, as we both remembered our wedding cake as being absolutely horrible. As for the champagne, well, it was still bubbly and fresh as it was 20 years before. However, it was still cheap champagne, still quite bitter, and Terre didn't drink more than a glass. I polished off the rest of the bottle, and was very unpleasantly drunk. In the morning, I felt sick as a dog. And I'm sitting there thinking "what's the matter with me? Have I got the flu?" And then it hits me - "Ooooooh... I'm hung-over." And I was like "Man... I have only EVER been hung over ONCE before in my life. 20 years ago, drinking this same cheap champagne." Yes, that's right. The champagne was still just as awful as it was 20 years before. ;-) True story. ;-) [Addenda] For those of you who can't read the little wooden plaque at her feet in the "Runway" shot, it says "Miss New Mexico 1987." ;-)

That was both touching AND hilarious, with the ring of truth. Remarkable coincidence as well. Apparently my wife and I got married only 2 months before you two did. MANY congratulations. Twenty Years is a real milestone nowadays!

...with the ring of truth. My wife says to tell you that the only thing I got wrong was her jacket and hat was blue, and she was wearing sneakers. ;-) Thanks. =)
