Inspirational



On Saturday evening, my father in law surprised my mother in law with a vow renewal ceremony to celebrate their 35th Wedding Anniversary. All of the family was invited to sneak into a side room at their church after the service started.  As the church-goers were leaving the chapel, my mother in law's sister and brother cornered her (much to her surprise) and had her put on her "vow-renewal-attire", then we were all re-seated in the pews and the vow renewal ceremony began.  Mother in Law was absolutely shocked and had no clue Father in Law had been planning it for weeks.  It was so very sweet and touching.




In order to help Husband's brother and sister in law, who are located in Texas, share in the special ceremony in Minnesota, they were skyped through a wireless connection and were then able to watch the entire ceremony and chat with the joyful couple afterwards.


In today's mixed up world, it's a really big deal to make it to 35 years of wedded bliss!  I was so proud to share in their happy celebration! All my love to Gramma and Papa (as the wee ones call them) and we wish them at least another 35 years of awesome shared love.

Thank you! It was such an honor to be able to witness the vow renewal. And for once, I was so proud of myself because I didn't even get all blubberly and sob like I usually do. :)
