Last Wednesday was our 42nd wedding anniversary so after we got the paper out we went out to eat to celebrate the occasion.
At the restaurant was a piano with a pianist to boot.
He asked us if we had any requests but the only one we made, “Some Enchanted Evening”, was a song he didn’t know.
We did mention that it was our anniversary.
A couple sitting at the table next to us said it was their anniversary as well.
The piano player asked us how many years and we told him.
The other couple, Joe and Karen Vaughn of Norman, said this is their 42nd as well.
Gracie joked with Karen about what a cool day it was in Norman back in 1979.
They reported they got married just down the street from the restaurant at the Wesley Foundation and had their reception in the Ming Room at the OU Student Union.
“Do you remember the Ming Room?” our new friend Karen asked Gracie.
“That’s where we had our reception as well,” Gracie replied.
Luckily our wedding at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church on the west side of town was at noon and their nuptials were in the evening at the Wesley Foundation.
Sounded like the Ming Room got a workout that day.
When Joe heard we were from Purcell he said he recently lost one of his best friends.
“I was really good friends with Mike Pollok,” he said noting he was sorry about his death back in January.
Small world.
