Jim & Dorothy Engagement 1951
The newly engaged couple, Jim Andreassend
and fiancee Dorothy Barron both of Timaru.
Who would know what your futures would hold?
In love, full of hope, aspirations and a belief in yourselves.
Being congratulated by family and friends who would
guess the stories you would one day be able to to tell.
Can you remember the day you decided to get married,
to build a home and to raise a family?
Months of excitement and planning for your big day,
I wonder how many times you tried on your wedding
dress Mum? Making it as perfect as you could,
standing in front of the mirror knowing soon you would
be walking down the aisle and seeing Dad standing
there in his pinstripe suit, looking elegant and
ever so dashing.
Then one last night, all the preparations have been done,
clothes are hanging ready for you, looking around your
room considering this is the last day you will be single.
There is only one thing left to do take a deep breath
and try and get some sleep because soon you`ll be
raising five sons!!

The number of people you have influenced, encouraged, taken in, befriended, admonished, cooked for, comforted, smiled and laughed with, instructed, disciplined, sat with, dined together with, prayed for, danced with, sung to, were a competitor to, cared for, traveled with, listened to, studied with are the like the stars scattered across the sky. I should know because I was there. Kevin
