My
husband, Rene', and I had a difficult time
planning
our Wedding. It is hard to know the
best
way to go when you are only supposed to get
married
once! Well, it just didn't seem fair to
only
have one major celebration for a love, a
relationship,
and a commitment that are supposed
to
last a lifetime. We decided to make one day
a year a little more special than all of the others...

Rene'
proposed to me on top of a mountain in
Phoenix,
AZ as we were watching a beautiful sunset.
Naturally,
I said, "Yes!"
May
21, 1995
We
got married at sunset in a quaint little church
in
Chandler, AZ. We exchanged vows surrounded by
candlelight,
and lots of family and friends. It was
a
rather normal, traditional wedding.
May
21, 1996-2003
Every
year since then we have continued
to
celebrate our love for each other.
We
have renewed our vows each and every
year,
in different ways, in different places,
but
always at sunset and always with
the
same biblical passage...
1
Corinthians 13:4-8
Love
is patient, love is kind.
It
does not envy, it does not boast,
it
is not proud. It is not rude,
it
is not self-seeking, it is not
easily
angered, it keeps no record
of
wrongs. Love does not
delight
in evil but rejoices with
the
truth. It always protects,
always
trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres.
Love never fails.
