My parents' anniversary is coming up in a few weeks, so I had a rummage through an old tin my mom has with a wad of old photos. I found these few of them together. Most of these were taken in 1973, so five years before I was born. It's sort of strange seeing them together in the photos though. No kids around, no house, no joys and sorrows the following years would bring. I often wish I could go back in time and hang out with them in those days that seem so carefree.

not sure why but this post made me so emotional. Such beautiful photographs, makes me want to go rummage my folks photo albums too.
yeah man.. got pretty emotional checking those out too! great collection, ur so lucky to have that peak into their pre-you lives!
Dig the kit they wearing too. Mom's little nautical number in pic 2 and the flare on my dad's pants in pic 6.
Love the quality of those 70s photos! Your parents look really in love, no wonder they're still celebrating anniversaries together.
I've been digging through my parents box of photos, too, and feel the way you do. It would have been great to have known them then.
Thanks guys.
wow. i can't believe how gorgeous these are. looks like a beautiful time but i'm sure their lives were enriched even more when you came into the picture :).
