Happy Day of the Dead 💀 😁 also our 23rd Anniversary

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead

The Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de (los) Muertos)[2][3] is a holiday traditionally celebrated on November 1 and 2, though other days, such as October 31 or November 6, may be included depending on the locality.[4][5][6] The multi-day holiday involves family and friends gathering to pay respects and remember friends and family members who have died. These celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants remember amusing events and anecdotes about the departed.[7] It is widely observed in Mexico, where it largely developed, and is also observed in other places, especially by people of Mexican heritage. The observance falls during the Christian period of Allhallowtide.[1] Some argue that there are Indigenous Mexican or ancient Aztec influences that account for the custom, though others see it as a local expression of the Allhallowtide season that was brought to the region by the Spanish; the Day of the Dead has become a way to remember those forebears of Mexican culture. The Day of the Dead is largely seen as having a festive characteristic.[8]

She wanted Nov. 9th but that was the beginning oh deer hunting season. Her dad was okay with it but her brother said he wouldn’t be there. We butted heads a lot. We are cool now. I have the only bloodline grandkid. Plus we’ve just mellowed.

I proposed February 15th - sunset at Malibu. No ring. Day late and a dollar short as was me.
She said yes. I mean, of course. I said we’re here in her (now defunct) corporate trip so we had a car. Let’s drive to Vegas! and get an Elvis to marry us. She thought her mom would want a church wedding. At our reception her dad said if we’d done that he’d have just written us a check for what they put into the wedding.
