Celebration of Marriage!


Twenty-five years ago I had the privilege of attending the wedding of son Craig and the beautiful Kim.  The ceremony was conducted at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Indianapolis.

.
Saturday we were privileged to celebrate with this couple as they marked a quarter-century together.  The party was designed and hosted by their three daughters, Elizabeth, Jennifer, and Anna.  Here we see the daughters administering the "renewal of vows."  The girls wrote and conducted the ceremony; and who better to create vows for the couple than three young people who had lived in their home sixteen to twenty-two years?

It was lovingly done, but certainly with humor and poignancy.

And the happy family sets forth on the journey through the next quarter-century!

Vee, as the saying goes, A good time was had by all!

Sharkey, C is a stepson. He is tall, four inches taller than I.

Grace, 25 years is a pretty good run. Blessings to those who achieve 25 years of marital togetherness.

They're off to a good start. Here's hoping the second quarter century is even better than the first.

That's such a great way to honor the 25 years! congratulations to all--that is quite the accomplishment. Here's to many more years of happiness!

Chuck, the good news is that one can tell by the way they look at each other that they are still in love!

Lin, they have put it together and made it work. Thanks for the congrats!

Isn't it interesting how those "looks" tell such an eloquent story? I see that between your son and daughter-in-law too.

Chuck, it is reassuring to know that love can still survive the push-and-pull of life's vicissitudes.
