Too often we let special events in the lives of our friends just slip by without remembering them. I know it happens to us a lot.
Today, I just want to remember our friends George and Martha Washington (you may know of them – he was Father of Our Country.) Today would have been their 252nd wedding anniversary.
George and Martha were both 27 years old when they got married on January 6, 1759 in New Kent, Virginia. Martha had been married before – to Daniel Parke Custis – when she was 18. However, Daniel died seven year later; Daniel and Martha had four children. George and Martha did not have any children.
The newly married George and Martha spent their honeymoon in Williamsburg, Virginia. They made a nice couple – happy anniversary to them both.
