Fair warning, I’m getting a bit shmaltzy here. Thirty-two years ago I married my soulmate. In the decades since, our lives, like everyone else’s, have not always been smooth sailing, but through it all I took comfort in knowing that my best friend and love of my life was with me. For our first dance at our wedding reception we had the DJ play Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love With You,” and the reasons why I picked it then still hold true today.

Many congratulations to you and Tom. I have been married 3 times since 1977, and I envy anyone who can stay together for 32 years. Love to you both.
Pete. x
