So it’s been awhile since I blogged. I have been buried under Christmas sessions. That is a GOOD thing! I can see the light of day now and I even have something different to share!!

On friday evening I had the EXTREME honor of being asked to document the 50 year renewal of vows for a sweet couple. Their daughter did a lot of the planning and she did a wonderful job. We started off the evening at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Plano for the ceremony and then headed over to Canyon Creek Country Club in Richardson for the lovely reception.

I think it is amazing to have survived (is that the right word to use) 50 years of marriage and I think that it is even more amazing that these two still love each other so much that they wanted to show all their family and friends that after 50 years that they would do it all over again! I hope that my husband and I can be this lucky! 5 down 45 more to go.

Here are just a few of my favorite moments from the evening:

The bride’s beautiful bouquet. I loved the orange flowers on the blue chairs. Blue and orange are complementary colors. Sorry, that’s the art teacher in me talking. 

A sweet moment during their vows. I think this is my favorite from the evening.

Exchanging rings.

Off to the reception………………

The cake.

I loved watching the reactions to the slideshow of family photos through the years. This one of the couple’s granddaughter was priceless!

On second thought this may be my favorite from the evening. The speech the “groom” made about his bride was so sweet.

Cake!!!!

I really enjoyed being a part of the evening. Thanks so much for choosing me!! And thanks for dinner too. It was yummy! Congratulations to the happy couple. I wish you 50 more years of happiness!
