Today, July 27th, is my parents 35th wedding anniversary!! Tomorrow will be John & Steph's 1st wedding anniversary!
I wasn't around 35 years ago, but I have been around for most of my parents marrage and as all couples have their up's & down's my parents have been faithful to each other thru it all. Which says a lot in today's society. But my parent's have never cared about what society may think, only what they think of each other at the end of the day, and I THINK that love has a lot to do with it and knowing that you married the one and only person on this planet ment for you. There love is something wonderful and I hope that as Tim and I go thru the many years that we will have together our love will continue to grow and be as wonderful as theirs.
Steph & John have been together as a couple for several years, but the last year has been as a married couple. Many people may not see the difference, but I think the difference is love and a willingness to say "I'm with you no matter what".
Again, in today's society marrage is more and more becomming not a big deal, and it's common to have a quick marrage and be divorced within the hour, day, week, month, year, etc... That's why it's so important to celebrate every year together with as much celebration as if it were your 1st. Because each year will bring you something new and exciting to enjoy that will make it different than the year before.
But I have faith that these two wonderful couples will be together for many, many more wonderful and exciting years. I look forward to all the neices & nephews (no, that's not a hint) that will come into our lives as Steph and John continue down their awsome adventure of love. I look forward to planning my parents 40th, 50th, etc. wedding anniversaries. I look forward to celebrating my 5th (in two years) with these two wonderful couples.
And so, Happy 35th Anniversary to you Dad & Mom!! Happy 1st Anniversary to you John & Steph!!
