October is a special month because...

two very important couples tied the knot in late October - our parents! We have a lot, and I mean a lot to thank our parents for. If these crazy kids never got married, we wouldn't be getting married!

Brandi's parents, Joe & Sue, were high school sweethearts who got married on October 21, 1978 in Pittsburgh, PA. When you meet the Bonkowski's, they instantly make sure that you have a cold beverage and food in your hand. Some of their favorite activities include tailgating, Saturday night bowling, making jello shots and of course, watching the Steelers!

One year and 8 days later, Debbie & Mike Smith were married on October 28, 1979 in Atlantic City, NJ. This year marks the Smith's 30-year wedding anniversary. The Smith's enjoy vacationing in Florida, visiting the Jersey shore in the summer, hanging out with friends in their new community and of course watching sports. Deb also makes a great breakfast that is worth an early morning visit to the Smith house!

Happy anniversary to both of our parents!

If you would like to get to know Sue & Debbie more, feel free to become their friends on Facebook!
