Cutting The Wedding Cake In 1974

Recently, we came across this image from our wedding album.

It's of my wife Gloria and myself pretending to cut our Styrofoam wedding cake. Do they still make those? We did have cake of course, but it was cut and packaged ahead of time.

Anyway I thought I would share this gem. The photograph on the home page of my website is from our 3oth wedding anniversary dinner in 2004.

We have not aged one bit...
