Today is my parents official 25th Wedding Anniversary! I am so blessed to be their daughter and to have been a witness to their marriage as they have purposed to live in unity and love us and love each other. I never grew up in a "don't tell your dad" or "don't tell your mom" family and certainly didn't appreciated it growing up but looking back now I realize how much security that created for my siblings and I. A couple of days ago we threw them a surprise party to commemorate this milestone! We gave them their invitation on Christmas so they would have a little warning.
Here is a picture of them opening their invitation. They are still not sure what is going on.
Here it is starting to set in. You are doing what?!
The spread. Yummy yummy!
My grandma made them a cake. Didn't she do a great job! Apparently the story goes that my mom really wanted a lemon cake at her wedding and it was the one cake that didn't get eaten! So the top layer of the cake is lemon and we all ate some this time! They had blues in their original wedding colors so we tried to incorporate that a bit.
Kelly and I posing with our hard work!
Daniel has been working on a slide show for months. Which was not easy living at home! He also transfered their wedding video to DVD so we had that playing on a laptop in the living room.
She really had no idea!
The original dress!!!
They renewed their vows.
Prayed over their marriage and whatever the Lord has in store for them and this next phase of their marriage!
They cut the cake! With the knife they used at their wedding no less!
We love you mom and Dad!! Happy Anniversary!
