We have eaten our anniversary dinner at Vincent's for about 35 of those years, and we shall repeat the tradition.
Our first 2 anniversaries were spent in South Carolina. When we returned to Texas and my husband's boss found out where we were going for dinner, he told us to ask for a particular waiter. (Vincent's is also a favorite of that man.) We did as Chuck suggested. At the end of our meal, Chuck had made arrangements for the waiter to bring us a little cake.
I shall order red snapper a la Vincents. yum......yum.......
Our first date was dinner at a seafood restaurant, so............

Happy anniversary, LL. Love the picture.
Was that restaurant once located near Love Field? Many years ago a guy I was dating took me to a classy restaurant near Love Field (don't know what we were doing in Dallas) that served either Greek or Lebanese salads and seafood. It was the place where I ate my first lobster.

Yes, that is the one.
It has moved north to the world's worst location. I think only those who are regulars find it.

Oh my goodness! They have been in business forever. I'm thinking it was late 60s or early 70s when I was there. BTW the lobster was wonderful. My Mom has always said lobster tastes like rubber bands. She is so wrong. I don't like fish but I love lobster, crab, and shrimp - yeah, the trash eaters.
You were both so cute. Love the sideburns. Your hubby looks like a big guy.

I know where that Vincent's is. My Mom has a favorite waitress who works there. We don't get by there as often since she moved to Frisco.

Thanks for the complements.
sideburns--EVERYONE had them at the time. They make me laugh now.
Big guy--LOL He is 5'11" and at that time weighed about 145. ...he's all the way up to 160 now....still 32" waist.

It's the size of his hands that made me think he's a big guy. But then Bob's only 5'8" but has really big hands.
And yes, in that picture he does look a little like a young Mac Davis.
Is that your wedding dress? I wore a pink dress at my wedding.

Yes that was my wedding dress.
It was my second wedding and I am of the opinion that white dress is for that first trip up the aisle.

I had grand plans last year to be able to put it on again.......well, that didn't happen.

I finally threw mine away. It's not like anyone will want it. Don't know why I hung on to it as long as I did. It was my first wedding but I was bound and determined not to wear white.
As for being able to put it on again..........I weighed 113# when we married. It was a loooooooooooooong time ago.
