Married in Toronto

Barb Thompson and Evie Simmons were married in Toronto, Canada on October 24, 2003. They both hail from Southern New Jersey and now reside full-time in Rehoboth Beach. Barb and Evie met while attending Glassboro State College (now Rowan University) over thirty years ago.

After graduation they went their separate ways and 10 years (1981) later, by chance, they met again and the rest is history. They have been together for 22 years and are enthusiastically looking forward to the next 22 plus years.

The marriage festivities included a stay at the B-R Guest Bed and Breakfast in Toronto, the "I Do’s", a dance to "The Sweetest Thing" (a Juice Newton tune), luncheon at the CN Tower, a visit to Niagara Falls (the proverbial honeymoon trip), shopping at Niagara on the Lake, attending church at MCC Toronto, checking out gay Toronto, fabulous meals, meeting many warmhearted people, plus watching the Eagles football team play on Canadian TV (it’s a lesbian thing).

Barb and Evie both agree that the event and other festivities were even more special as they were shared with their friends, Wayne and Tom.
