... my mom and dad promised to love and to cherish each other, until death did them part.
Sadly, my dad did not live to see today - we would have been having a good old shindig if he had! Not that either of my parents were Party People, really... they had a quiet, fairly conservative wedding - a church service in the then Salisbury (now Harare) Catholic Cathedral, followed by a reception at The Park Lane Hotel.
I was always really impressed by my dad's honeymoon planning.... back in the early 1960s, when travelling abroad was relatively unheard of, he whipped my mom away on a cruise from Mozambique to The Seychelles.
They were only the second group of tourists to visit the islands.... there were no luxury resorts, no hot water or air conditioning. But I reckon they had a magical time...
