Our weeding night/March 28, 1970

Title
Our weeding night/March 28, 1970
Description
I got my engagement ring at dinner in the revolving restaurant,Top of the Riverfront, in October 1969. When we planned where to stay on our wedding night there was only one choice for us, Stouffer’s Hotel. We parked our car and checked in to the hotel. The next morning we left to head to New Orleans for our honeymoon. When we picked up our car, the attendant told us we had parked illegally and they were about to get us towed until they noticed the “Just married” sign on the car. They told us they didn’t want to disturb us which was so nice of them. Fast forward to 2008 when our son and wife chose to spend their wedding night at the same place as us though by then it had changed hands. My husband and I drove them there after the wedding and felt we had come full circle. We celebrated 55 years of marriage this past March and hold such fond memories of the hotel.
