To Have and to Hold



Thirty-one years ago
today..

My father gave his eldest daughter away.



There is Love...



He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubadour is acting on His part.
The union of your spirits, here, has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name
There is Love. There is Love.


Well a man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home
And they shall travel on to where the two shall be as one.
As it was in the beginning is now and until the end
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again.
And there is Love. There is Love.


Well then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it Love that brings you here or Love that brings you life?
Or if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?
Oh there's Love, there is Love.


Oh the marriage of your spirits here has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered
in His name
There is Love.
Oh, there is (still) Love.

Happy Anniversary Sweets!

Congratulations, what a beautiful tribute! It looks like you celebrated a lovely day of love all those years ago. I hope today is just as sweet and special!

Sissy, that is so sweet. Time goes by fast, I am glad that you and Keith still have the love, which I am sure is greater than 31 years ago.

What a wonderful memory.
Love the picture of you and your dad.
And the one taken after your vows.
Happy Anniversary to both of you.

Crickit, what a beautiful picture of you and your dad! Happy Anniversary to you both!
We were married the same year, and I know the words to "There is Love" inside out.
"And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." 1Cor 13:13
How true!

You look as cute today as you did 30 years ago - how cool is that?!

We played the same song at our wedding 32 years ago this month.

Happy anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! Now may I giggle at your dad's 3 piece brown suit and your hubby's white tux? You looked gorgeous then and now though!
