Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 You know, bottom line is the fact that you are together so long and honor each other. Then, you have such a great family to share your life with. I think it was very special that your daughter arranged your anniversary to be so special. Mojo Mojo went to a wedding Mojo, The wedding sounds wonderful to me! I'm jealous! I'm sure you & the other friend will always be remembered for being there for them. Jace & I got married at the county courthouse. We had always planned on "someday" having a church wedding. As the years passed, we had hoped to finally have that wedding on our 25th anniversary. That was last July 3rd. After all the problems, health & financial, there was no way we could afford it. So.....our daughter, some special friends & a few other family members decided our special day would not go unnoticed! We had a big party/cook-out with a crowd of family & friends. Our oldest daughter made us this wedding cake (it was so hot you can see the icing melt!). We had a blast, the kids & grandkids all loved it. And it was a special memory that we will always have. May not have been what we had hoped for, but turned out to be really great. And it was the first time we managed to get all of my family & his together! It meant so much to me to do something special now since we don't know how fast his PD/possible Alzheimer's might progress. I cherish every day now. Part of me would still like to have that wedding someday. Maybe the 50th?!?! LOL I can always hope! This isn't one of our best pictures after being out in that heat all day. lol <<<<< I wanted to share this experience with you. My best friend and a godmother of one of my kids has been married for 13 years now, however she only had the city hall wedding. There was never enough time to get the "real" thing and with time it didn't seem to matter to them anymore. If anything they felt with them being married for such a long while it would be a joke to have a big wedding. But, their older daughter is going to her First Holy Communion this year and both of them felt really bad about not being able to go to communion with her so they decided to get the catholic wedding. It was yesterday in the evening at a Polish church in Greenpoint and it will be one of the most memorable weddings for me. They asked a couple of friends who live by to come and be the "witnesses", they didn't want to bother anyone. I went anyway and surprised them. There was only one other person. They were dressed elegant, but in regular clothes. The priest was incredible and wanted to make them feel real good about this and put all his heart into it. The other friend that came had rice and the four of us guests, threw it at them as they left the church. It was in the evening, but it was a beautiful warm evening. We talked for a few minutes then we all said good night and went home. For someone who was looking from the outside it might have looked like a sad celebration with so little friends and without the whole glitter and shine, for us knowing these people, it felt like they were renewing their vows, pledging their love to each other all over again. I thought it was a real special day.
