(more…)Think your marriage makes an interesting story? • 05.26.10
Who hasn’t gone to a June wedding? It’s the most popular month of the year to get married.
So in an upcoming Sunday Express, we thought we’d pay tribute to June weddings by putting marriages — both old and new — under the microscope. In your Sunday Express on June 27, we’ll introduce you to a couple who has been married for 25 years or more, and juxtapose them next to a couple who has clocked roughly 1 year of marital bliss — and see how marriage evolves over a lot, or a little of time.
Think your marriage makes for an interesting story? Send a brief reason why, with your daytime contact information, to lbabcock@lohud.com by June 2. If we pick you and your spouse, we’ll be in touch. Thanks!
