Today's our 25th anniversary, and we did NOT go to Gatlinburg. Why not? Because every single teeny wedding chapel in the area wants $200, yes two hundred dollars just for two people to renew their wedding vows in a five minute ceremony. We wouldn't've minded $100-$150 for one night in a cabin there, but another $200 to renew, just because its the Smoky Mountains and Gatlinburg? Totally outrageous, or as my sister aptly put it: Holy RipOff, Batman! So, we're spending the day window shopping after we fix the fridge, then going out for a nice quiet dinner later on. So far, the phone has not rung with any congrats..... guess things are different than they were 40 some years ago, Siver Anniversary's were SUCH a big deal then, with big parties etc. Have a really great day everyone, I'm offline the rest of the day! Hugs, Noreen
