Day 4: Silver Anniversary

Holy crap! The Princess Bride movie is 25 years old. Twenty five years. That was a way long time ago. 1987.

I adore that song that played over the end credits, Storybook Love by Mark Knopfler. So sweet, romantic and pure. You can hear it on YouTube.

And because I love The Princess Bride so much, I also wrote a post about it over at Chick Wit. Be sure to check it out!
