Karla,
Our biggest agruments are about his parents, too! Those people......... grrrrrrrrrrr.
As for how we met, I was the secretary in a large Engineering Department. He was one of the Engineers. How's that for stereotypical??
We planned our entire wedding on 1-800-WEDDING for $800 including plane tickets to Vegas. We got married in the Graceland chapel with a fake Elvis singing. The lady getting married in front of us popped the seams on her strapless dress and we saw PLENTY of her.
The whole thing was just delightfully tacky and we laughed ourselves silly.

This is a wonderful bit of information and you all are to be congratualated. I think I am the oldest married here, as we just had our 53rd anniversary in Nov. Yes, there were rough spots as everyone has but overall its been a great ride. We only knew each other 8 months prior to marriage.Then we eloped. My mother was not pleased.

On 2-12-2010 we will have been married 55 years. Hard to believe it has been that long. My parents had been married 76 years in July of this year and then my daddy passed away in October. Mother is 94 and doing well. I remember when I ordered a flower arrangement for their 75th wedding anniversary the florist said he had been in business a long time but had never before been asked to do an arrangement for a 75th wedding anniversary.
