25 Years Ago Today
25 Years ago today Doug and I stood at the altar of Our Lady of Good Counsel church in Verona, New York and promised to love honor and cherish each other until death do us part. The little church where I attended Mass every Sunday since I was eight years old. The little church where we went to Mass together during our courtship. Tonight after a Mass of thanksgiving celebrated by the same priest who married us we renewed those same vows.
Those vows that mean more to us now because we know what they truly mean. We know what it means to love each other in sickness and in health, in wealth and in want, for richer and for poorer. We know the good times and the bad. I think that for both of us our vows were said with more conviction because of the experience of the last 25 years and the anticipation of the years to come, however many they may be.
Thanks be to God for the years that are behind and for the time that is to come.
Thank you to my beloved for the lovely 25 roses that he sent to me that represent all of the years that we have spent together. The answer is a most emphatic Yes!!!! I would indeed do it over again.

Congratulations to you both. Twenty-five years is quite a demonstration of devotion and sacrifice. I know this, having only gotten through six years with my lovely bride. May God grant you many more years!
Congratulations! I echo Dave’s sentiment very much. Twenty-five years is wonderful and a humbling testament to what love and devotion are all about.
Big big big hugs!
Congrats! ~ l
