He wore a dark brown suit.
She wore a floral dress.
He and She became They.
Afterwards they had cake.
They moved.
They moved again.
They bought a house.
They had dogs.
They had a daughter.
They named her Amy.
She was pretty.
She cried for three months in a row.
She was perfect after that.
They moved.
They had another daughter.
They named her Wendy.
She was pretty, too.
She was sweet and didn't cry so much.
They moved again.
They had another daughter.
They named her Joanna.
But called her Joey.
They moved again.
And again.
And again.
There were more dogs.
They took trips.
They hid Easter baskets.
They went to Christmas recitals.
They bought the good cereal.
They spent summer nights on the porch.
They watched their girls get bigger.
They watched their girls have girls of their own.
Because He and She became They 38 years ago today,
good things keep happening.
Like her...
Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad.
You are so going to be mom and dad's favorite.
