WEDDING VOWS



Thirty-six years ago, on June 4, 1969 I stood in front of a church watching and waiting for my beautiful bride to slowly make her way down the aisle on the arm of her dad. I was 20 years old and had no clue whatsoever about the journey we were embarking on together on that warm June evening. I must admit that my thoughts were more focused on the honeymoon than on the wedding ceremony that was just beginning. Sweat poured from every pore of my body. Frazzled nerves, uncertainty, warm room? I'm not sure but the pastor was kind enough to swab my face with his handkerchief while we knelt before him during a time of prayer. From my perspective, the vows we repeated that evening seemed to be just words strung together that were a necessary part of a wedding and would allow us to move on to the honeymoon. With each passing year, these vows take on more and more meaning. They speak of an incredible commitment to each other, no matter what we're faced with, for as long as we live. These vows have become more than just words strung together, they have become an intregal part of our marriage.

Grateful for 36 awesome years of marriage and anxiously looking forward to the next 36. Thanks G! The best is yet to come!
