Happy Anniversary Lico and Lica!

Lico and Lica are short for Abuelito and Abuelita (grandpa and ma in Spanish). It has been 36 years since the fairytale wedding that took place not so long ago in Chile. Lico met Lica and her family on an LDS mission in Chile when she was 14 years old. After two years of serving and falling in love with the Chilean people (particularly one), he bid farewell and returned to the states. Lico and Lica began their long distance relationship (which was okay now) through letters for two years. He returned to Chile when Lica was 18 and asked for her hand in marriage. The newspaper announced that a 'Gringo' had taken a pretty Chilean girl to be his bride - big news then. Yeah! Not a common reunion at the time, yet the start of wonderful blessings for them and many others.
Congratulations happily ever after!
Happy 36th anniversary! Oh dear, that means I will be 36 this year too.
Love you!

Happy New Year!
