full text: " 'Your favorite New Year's Eve ever?' I asked my husband of 10 years. I was recalling our early-romance giddy-tipsy stroll up the Champs-Élysées, champagne and kisses shared between us — but I was open to hearing his choice. Patrick smiled dreamily and said, 'The Rose Garden in Bern: snow falling softly around her.' Less gently than before, I said, 'Let's try that again. What was your favorite New Year's Eve ever — not with your ex-girlfriend, but with your wife.' 'Oops,' he said, recognizing his error. We'll celebrate our 30th anniversary in January. (He knows better by now.)

There is no "About us" in the website, so I do not know if the website is official or not.
