This is NOT a plain ordinary tie! My "elegant vine" tie features beautiful tones of purple and silver, and was first worn six years ago on this date to help celebrate the wedding of Ben Kleppinger and Amanda Wheeler. They asked me to wear it again for this anniversary, and I'm very happy to do so! (I was the only person sporting a tie this morning at the outdoor "church picnic day" service for Somerset First Presbyterian Church; everyone who asked about it agreed that I was doing the right thing!)
