Joe, Congratulations to Christine and you. You both looked so happy.  Thanks so much for sharing the pictures with us. I'm so glad you two are the very special couple that you are, because of that we in turn are blessed with this board. Thanks so much to the both of you. What would we do without you two. (Can't wait to see your next 25th Greek Rewedding.) It's never to early to start making plans. lol
Big Congrats!
Chelee

Dear Joe and Christine,
I just can't tell you how much I love seeing these photos! I really want to re-marry my husband someday - but I am thinking an Elvis wedding in Las Vegas or something like that.
Thanks!
