Be Still and Know...Then and Now

It was a spring day and there was a forecast for afternoon showers. The wedding was at 3:00 P.M. At 2:00 it began to rain and I was in a panic as the wedding was outside! Thankfully it was a short spring shower and by 3:00 the sun was out and it was a beautiful day! Before I got out of bed this morning I was contemplating the many years my husband and I have navigated the the many different paths our marriage has taken. I thought about some of the unpleasant times, some of our struggles and then I began to think about all the days we have spent together. By my count it’s 10,950 days! Somehow when you look at the days is doesn't seem as long as saying thirty years!

Join me in a trip down memory lane hosted by "In His Hands" for A Blog Carnival - Our Wedding Album A long long time ago in a galaxy far far away before digital photography, destination weddings and Bridezilla two young (totally unprepared for real life but to stupid and in love to know any better) people began their journey into wedded bliss! On a fine day in the spring of 1982 (27 years ago, yes twenty seven) theses two young lovers became husband and wife. It was a small, low key casual family affair. Mom made my dress, I made the veil, grandma did the food and a friend of the groom took the pictures. The big moment...do you take this man... It was a beautiful park, with a picturesque gazebo siting at the end of peninsula jutting out into a small pond with a family of white ducks floating by. Blessings Robin
