You can’t even trust your best friend. That was the lesson Jean got for her 35th wedding anniversary - that plus dinner and a show.
A few weeks back, Jean’s Maid of Honor and bestest oldest friend, came up to spend a few days. She found a pretense to have Jean dig out her wedding dress and try it on. Then I dug out the Hawaiian shirt I wore, added an old shell lei and some flowers that just 'happened' to be in the house. We went out on the back deck to use the willow tree to mimic a photo from our wedding album. What fun!
Little did Jean know that the resulting picture would end a long trail of photos that I strung together and put into a movie for our anniversary - some old shots of our long and lucky adventures through married life. They aren’t the best photography - but each one was selected to remind her of specific fun event - and suggest to her that I might still be worth keeping.
Movie: You Are Still the One
And yes, she still can wear that dress.

PS. The shirt shrunk.
YOU'RE STILL THE ONE Lyrics by Orleans
We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear
You're still the one -- I want to talk to in bed
Still the one -- that turns my head
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
I looked at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til we went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow
You're still the one -- that makes me laugh
Still the one -- that's my better half
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one -- that makes me strong
Still the one -- I want to take along
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
(yes you are)
Changing, our love is going gold
Even though we grow old, it grows new
You're still the one -- that I love to touch
Still the one -- and I can't get enough
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
