00:10Um, Beth and I met through a, we were both, Beth attended Penrith Youth Fellowship,
00:16United Church, I was attending St Mary's United Church and we had a joint get-together at Penrith
00:23and I walked into the room and I saw her straight away type of thing and I just decided then
00:30and there that, um, you know, she was the one for me.
00:34How lucky I was, Beth, we crossed paths that night, um, you know, she was just very special
00:44to me.
00:45I got married on my birthday, yeah, I was 23, Beth was not quite 19, she was 19 in the
00:53May,
00:54and, uh, so, as I said, got married when I was 23, so I knew how many years I'd been
00:59married,
01:00could never forget the date and I used to say that she was the best birthday present
01:04that I've ever had, so, yeah, she was just a wonderful, wonderful person.
01:10We, we never really embraced Valentine's Day because we, we thought that every day to us
01:15is Valentine's Day.
