Dear Finn & Hazel,
I met my husband, Micheal Arvid Roth, (your Grandfather) at a Country Western concert in the summer of 1982 in San Jose, CA. Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Merle Haggard were playing. The venue was called a "Day on the Green" because it was outside on the grass. I went with his sister Patti & her husband, Wayne Wirkkala. There were a few other people with us too. We brought beach towels to sit on, and I wore a bikini bathing suit, because it was such a hot day.
It was pretty much love at first sight for us...
Micheal and I got married wearing Country Western attire, in Monterey, CA 1983. I wore a "Gunney Sax" wedding dress, and Micheal wore a Western dress shirt & Cowboy boots. I thought you would like to see a few of photos of us when we got married, since we are your Grandparents. We were MUCH younger back then. Micheal and I eloped...how romantic! We spent our wedding night at a Victorian B & B with gables, right on the ocean in Pacific Grove, CA after taking pictures at Lover's Point ;-)
