Ooooh my, forty years! I wouldn't have thought you were old enough, sugar! We're on our 49th year. Congratulations on 40! Isn't it grand to be able to say we've been strong and have the same partner for all those years? I am sooooo happy.

Best wishes to a special lady and her husband. You had a very pretty dress and I love the figurines. I am happy to hear you reaching 40 years. Seems the generation now have more problems. How sweet it was and is.

Your wedding album is ggreat.

Congratulations in advance on 40 years of marriage, Beverly! I enjoyed looking at all your beautiful wedding day mementos.
You asked what program I use to make my photo collages. I use the Google Picasa program as that is the photo program I use to store and edit my photos, and it also makes collages very easily.

Oh, Beverly, I just KNEW you would have wonderful beauties to share with us for the party! Your gown and veil are absolutely stunning! I LOVE that veil!! Such a beautiful pillow, too, with all the accordian pleating, it just goes perfectly! Your Irish Dresden figurines are so making me salivate! And shoes, oh, the shoes, I've got a small but growing collection of shoes myself, but no wedding ones. Yours are amazing. Of course, I'm madly in love with your precious cake topper and wedding album. You are truly a girl after my own heart. And I so love the way you started your post.....We are gathered here today..... :0)
