Happy Anniversary!! (July 14, 2013)

Claude Monet's, Rue Montorgueil, Paris, Festival of 30 June 1878

For many, today is the 224th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789.  The day is known in the English-speaking world as "Bastille Day," but in France it is formally known as La Fete Nationale (The National Celebration).  

For the Tew and Winkler families, however, today is known for another reason altogether . . .



It was one year ago today that the Tews and Winklers, their extended families, and assorted friends gathered in eastern Long Island to witness and celebrate the wedding of Jonathan and Pamela.  Today is their 1st Wedding Anniversary, which is traditionally represented by paper and carnations (with the modern 1st Anniversary gift being a clock).

May Jonathan and Pamela always find in each other the one person who gives the most affection, appreciation, encouragement and constant collaboration!  

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
