Nana and Beepa

Today is my grandparents' 64th wedding anniversary. Their real names are Ann and Romeo, but to us, they'll always be Nana and Beepa ... 


They were married on June 20, 1948  at Mary Help of Christians Roman Catholic Church on East 12th Street and Avenue A in the East Village. This is a picture from (I think) before they got married ... they're on the far left and far right of the photo, seated across from each other and holding hands :)

PS - their first apartment as newlyweds was on the corner of Houston & Christie Streets in SoHo -- a cold water flat with a communal bathroom out in the hall -- where their rent was a whopping $40 a month.

Love them so much!
