A wedding

Sarah and Christian were wed on December 1, 2012.  The wedding was small (maybe 65 people, and most were family members of the bride and the groom).  Both ceremony and reception were held in a small antebellum home, and the bride's grandfather and the groom's grandfather performed the service.  It was a  joyous and lovely day.

Kira and Oliver are married

On Saturday Oliver and Kira were married and now they are on their honeymoon. The wedding and reception were lovely and were such an amazing celebration of God's purpose in making families. To Oliver and Kira: May they live a long contented life together continually giving honor and glory to God!

We forgot - again

I guess my dad is right. One sign of a successful, happy marriage is forgetting one's wedding anniversary. We're so blissful that we have no need to set aside one day of the year to remember and be glad we're married. Every day is enjoyed and we're always celebrating being husband and wife.

Yes, we forgot it - again. Today marks our 25th wedding anniversary and we both forgot about it until Dad came with a card and a cheerful, "Happy Anniversary!" I guess the look on my face was comical, because he started laughing. I thanked him, then called Steve (he's at the golf course playing 9 holes of "best ball" with Tom, David, and Sam) and wished him a happy anniversary. The phone was silent for a few seconds, then Steve asked if I'd just now remembered. I apologized, and admitted that was the case. He said he'd forgotten, too, but he loves me and wished me a happy anniversary, too.

This is not the first time we've forgotten our anniversary, but it is the "biggest" one we've forgotten. Isn't 25 supposed to be the silver anniversary or something like that?

Twenty-four years ago today

Chuck walked me down the aisle and represented my family in giving me to Steve to be married.

Dad performed the wedding ceremony.

Joan, Kelley, Glen, and Susan attended me.

A bunch of Steve's classmates from TBS, and Glenn and Aric attended him.

Our families were joined together.

I became a wife and a step-mother.


We began our ever-after life together.
