OK, everyone pack your bags because you are all invited to join Jim and I and our closest friends as we renew our Wedding Vows on Sunday the 29th. It will be the 6th anniversary of the day we met. I wanted to do it on our 5th anniversary last Nov., but he was not doing well with his depression and I'm afraid to wait until next Nov. Soooooo, here we go! I'll keep you posted as we get closer :o) It's nice to have something fun to look forward to, even though he will probably need to go to a quiet room during our luncheon. I'll still enjoy it ALL!
Bless your heart Susan. You go out and have the time of your life. Enjoy every minute that you both can together. Having something to look forward to at this stage of the game is a gift and I don't say that lightly. Have a good time for all of us. (Using someone's else's phrase)........You go girl..........Anita
Definately casual, I gave up the nylons years ago, lol.
I know that when I am standing in front of my dearest friends, holding the hand of the love of my life, you all will be sitting there in the church crying and cheering me on! I have never been more sure of anything in my life. I love you all.
Today, in the presence of our closest friends and family, Jim and I renewed our wedding vows. It was a wonderfully beautiful, yet bittersweet service. A friend played guitar and sang "Annie's Song", by John Denver and ended with "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You." I cried, of course and Jim's eyes never left mine. We ended our vows with "now and forever", instead of until,,,,,,,, We all came back to our house where our best friend Bob, gave a very lovely toast, and then daughter Courtney surprised us with a very emotional tribute which had us all crying. We spent a wonderful afternoon, talking, eating and laughing. Jim hung in there, way, way, beyond my expectations. He looked stressed and exhausted, but refused to go and rest. He did at one point take granddaughter Samantha, 10 mos into my Mom's sitting room for some quiet time. After everyone was gone, Jim admitted to just how difficult the day had been for him, but he was happy to have done it for me. Oh how I love this man.
Susan what a wonderful idea and reading your lovely post full of love and goodness brings happiness to your cyber family here as well. congratulations, and by best to you and your dear husband - may you be blessed with many happy times. divvi
How could I not include my cyber-family? You all have been more supportive than most of our "real" family. Jim's is in bigtime denial, mine is occasionally supportive. I LOVE You Guys!
