As I recall it was toward the end of of 72. My younger sister was trying to play cupid and was constantly trying to get me to meet her husbands older sister. I always declined and told her I needed no help and declined her match-making goodwill.
Well I had to work on their wedding day and was living at home at the time and came home from work to a wedding reception going on. I was pretty grubby from working and I noticed this hot burd with long legs in a blue dress that looked to me was batting her eyelashes at me. A quick intro to all those at the reception and I headed for a fast shower so I could spend a little more time with that hot chick that was at the home I grew up in. As luck (fate?) would have it I cleaned up and was all set to turn on my charms when she had vanished. Where did your sister go I inquired to my new bro-in-law?
Where is your new sister-in-law I asked my little sister? Oh she had too much to drink and had to go home asap I was told. To say I was bummed out would not be fair.
I was devastated! Naturally my sister gave me an unneeded "I told you so".
The new year was fast approaching and I had nada any plans. So I called her up and asked her if she would like to go to a party at my cousins crib. She answered in the affirmative. We planned a small meeting for coffee so we would not be complete strangers at the big night out.
We attended the party and from there things got rolling pretty regular. We ("dated") for a spell and I was a schmuck. I would call her with no notice and leave her hanging more times than I care to remember but in the long run she was my squeeze.
I proposed whilst driving southbound underneath I-75 and London street in L.P.
She accepted and we wed in a group ceremony in downtown Detroit City County Building on January the 25th 1974. A couple of family members or friends needed to witness the event for legal purposes.
I would do it all again in a heartbeat and consider myself extremely lucky to have a wonderful wife/lover and soulmate/mother of our four children.
