5 Years Today
Seems like yesterday, but five years ago today (September 20, 2003) the Marcoccia family was formed. We were married on the lawn at the Alta Peruvian Lodge, with majestic Mt. Superior in the background. That day we stood before the Mayor of Alta, Utah (Bill Levitt at the time, and apparently we were the 50th couple he married, that met in Alta!), our family and friends, and offered our vows and dedicated life support to one another. It was a perfect day. Sunny, mid-60s temperatures, and even a light dusting of snow on the highest peaks from the day before. Well so far so great…In fact, even better than great ever since Ellie has joined our family. I couldn’t be happier in life, and I couldn’t be more in love with my lady and little girl.
Happy Anniversary, Danette. I love you. Here’s to the next 5, and 40! ![]()

Sounds like it was an absolutely beautiful and perfect wedding.:) Happy Anniversary to you, you make a beautiful family. :):) Hope the next 100 years together are just as wonderful as the first five.:) (don’t laugh, by then 100 might be considered just starting your lives together.
Enjoy your special day today:)
