Billboards at 60 Years

This story struck me today. A New Jersey couple, Marna and Cliff Gold, was celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary. Cliff decided to do something a bit...different.

Cliff Gold wanted to let everyone to know just how much he loves Marna, his wife of six decades. So he decided to wish her a happy anniversary with a billboard.

The huge sign, posted on Route 46 in Fort Lee, N.J., reads: "A wedding anniversary greeting. Marna, 60 years since our start... still the center of my heart. Luv U. Your C."

The pair acknowledges Cliff has a "quirky" sense of humor. That quirkiness has spawned years of practical jokes.

One year Cliff fooled his wife with a fake heart-shaped tattoo on his back side. It did not go over well...

I e-mailed Nicole that I hoped 60 years from now I would be taking out billboard ads on the side of roads (assuming Google does not make them obsolete by then) about our marriage. As the article mentions, a good sense of humor kept them together for all of those years--something that Nicole and I have, about ourselves, each other and life in general.

Happy Anniversary to the Golds!
