And so Paul Silder married Helen Marcotte 14 years ago, officially.
Officially? Well, even before they started dating in college, the two of them had that married-couple rapport, especially in the arguing department; I overheard many “debates” on the Bears v. Redskins, Washington DC v. Chicago (the cities’ merits), you name it. I guess you could call them an Eighties version of Tracy and Hepburn without the infidelity element.
According to the Internet’s most iffy website on facts, Wikipedia, this anniversary the gifts are ivory-based (traditional) or gold jewelry (modern). Since ivory comes from elephants and mainly through poachers, gold jewelry seems to be the better, less cruel choice. I wonder if gold-colored items count?
