Today is my Wedding Anniversary

George Schire · 2022-01-12T17:32:16Z

How did we get to number 48? Well, we're no experts, but here are some things that have made it easy. Last night we were talking about the Unity Candle we lit at our wedding church ceremony. Each of us took our individual candle and then together lit the Unity Candle, signifying that in marriage and under God we were now ONE. On that day 48 years ago, and to this very day, we've always been ONE. Putting each other first in every thought and decision made, and always listening to what each other says. Being able to admit when we're wrong and always realizing that each others feelings are more important than being the winner in any situation. We laugh because, when we do disagree, one of us will say, "Don't talk to me for the rest of day", and then only for a few minutes we say nothing. After that brief silence, we embrace in a hug, say "I love you" and go on with our day. We made a promise on January 12, 1974 to always be there for each other, it's a promise that has been easy to keep because we care more about each other than we do ourselves. Two years ago in January 2020 we were faced with a fear that our time together might be coming to an end when Lorraine was diagnosed with her Cancer. We each were dealt with a different challenge. She was facing a reality that she might not survive the Cancer and I was struggling with maybe having to continue on without her. During our wedding vows, there were those words, "I will care for you in sickness and in health". Being honest, it was something that at age 22, it didn't seem to be anything to think about. I will never say the role as caregiver was fun, nor was it a role that I wanted. But it was a role I embraced and I wanted to succeed at, more than anything I'd ever done in my life. Through these last two years, we've come to love each other even more. We made it through that difficult year and one day at a time since. God has always been our silent partner, we know He is always walking with us no matter what each new challenge brings. I am thankful and blessed to have Lorraine's hand and heart as our journey to FOREVER continues. As ONE together!

Anniversaries are a particular time to reflect on all the beautiful moments shared. Whether going out for a fancy dinner, having a cozy night in, or reliving your wedding day memories, it's all about celebrating your journey together.

Speaking of wedding memories, do you still have your wedding photos? I love looking back at mine and seeing everyone all dressed up. The groomsmen's suits were a real hit that day. They added such a touch of elegance to the ceremony. If you're thinking of anniversary gifts, consider something that reminds you of your wedding day. A framed photo or a keepsake could be a lovely touch.

Talk about reviving an old thread LOL...

But if my math is right (and it should be, I'm a CPA) you're now at 50 years, George! Excellent! 👏

YES! We celebrated number 50 this past January 12th. I love her even more than two years ago and I didn't think it possible to love her any more than already did. Each day is a reminder of how blessed we are.

LOL, I thought the same thing. How in the world did this thread pop up for someone. But alas, our love story is still the same. Starry Eyes
