Forty Years

In a blink of an eye forty years has past. Today is my sister's 40th wedding anniversary. I remember the day as if it was yesterday.I can vividly recall the smell of the flowers and the variety of the foods that were served. If I close my eyes, I can see the guests milling around in the entrance hallway before the cocktail hour. In those days the cocktail hour was first, then the ceremony, then the dinner. It made sense to eat, rest eat. Nowadays the ceremony comes first then the cocktail hour and then a big meal. I never understood why the sequence was changed. I cannot believe that time has flown so quickly.
