Thirty-seven years ago today at Clarksdale Baptist Church, my parents exchanged vows. My dad loves to tell the story of twisting every button off of his coat due to nerves. My mom tells that her veil got stuck in a floor vent while walking down the isle to meet her love at the alter. And their photographer was a no-show. Although they thankfully had family there with their cameras. The day was not the perfect Hollywood/Disney "storybook wedding" where everything goes exactly as planned, but it was their "storybook wedding."
They are the best parents in the world (maybe not officially, but in my world). They taught me how to love and how to be loved by my spouse. They taught me how to show compassion when my spouse is hurting. They taught me how to be a caregiver when my spouse is sick. They truly kept to their vows and for that I am much appreciative! Thank you for showing me the love of Christ through your love for one another and in your marriage!
Happy Anniversary, Momma and Daddy!
