Answers to Questions No One Has Asked Yet—But Will!
Q: Did you really wear Groucho glasses on your wedding day.
A: Yes, but only after the ceremony when we wanted to look cool.
Q: Why did you get married on St. Patrick’s Day?
A: Shelagh’s family is Irish (via Scotland and Canada,) And it seemed like a lucky date. (Plus, I had a green tie that I’d been wanting to wear.)
Q: How did you meet?
A: After my mom had cancer surgery, Shelagh was one of my mother’s nurses. I met Shelagh when she was on duty the night before my mother was discharged. I wanted to see Shelagh again so, I looked her up in the phone book (remember those?) and asked her out. A few weeks later I proposed. And she’s been stuck with me ever since.
↓ TranscriptSCENE A bride (Shelagh Lustig) and a groom (John Lustig) are wearing Groucho Marx glasses, noses and mustaches on their wedding day.
