What will it be like to be married to Lincoln for 25 years? Hmmm...
My Great Aunt and Uncle renewed their wedding vows today for their 25th wedding anniversary. We made the trip to STL to watch the special ceremony after church and eat a "reception" style lunch with many of their friends and family. It was very encouraging to see a couple (well up in their years because they were both married before) share such a public love with each other. It was so awesome to see them WANT to reaffirm their love for each other in front of their children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, friends, and most importantly, God. So many couples these days (well, those who actually stay married) are just going through the motions. They just stay together because for their kids, or because that's what's comfortable. Not because they are in love with each other. Really Sad.
Although I'm not sure Lincoln and I will ever renew our vows, I hope that 21 years from now a younger generation can look at us and feel the same way I felt looking at Mr. and Mrs. Bill Albright today.
Congratulations!
