Memories from Febuary 22, 1979

One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
to put it mildly it was love at first sight....



He smiled...




She smiled...and they knew right away...





This was the day they'd been waiting for all their lives


For a moment the whole world


Revolved around one boy, and one girl...


In no time at all they were standing there in front of a little church


Among their family, repeating those sacred words.


The preacher said 'son, kiss your bride'


Like the night they met,


Time just stood still...











My Mom (Luann Leon), and my Dad (James Uphold Jr. a.k.a Butch) meet at Tub Run Campground the summer of 1974. They got married Febuary 22, 1975 at the Grace United Methodist Church in Confluence, Pa. They were very much in love through my entire childhood, and teen years.


They are divorced now, but are really good friends. They are actually very close and have alot of love for one another. They would have been married for 35 years today.


The song I used was One Boy, One Girl by Collin Raye

OMG Echo...this brought back sooooo many memories for me! It was great. I haven't seen them in awhile and miss them. Seen your Dad at the grocery store not to long ago but this is the Butch and Lu that I know. Oh, the stories that I could tell, and some I will NEVER tell. LOL
