The 21st is our anniversary and we've been married for 31 years!
It's hard to believe, because I remember that day so well, and it doesn't seem nearly that long ago, but at the same time it seems like forever. (In a good way)
We were young when we got married. I was 20 and Bob was 23. We thought we knew everything, and had our future planned out.
Now here we are so many years later. Bob has less hair and I've gotten more fluffy. :)
We've learned that while marriage isn't always easy, it's sure worth working for. God has taken care of us through each day, leading us through some trials, but also blessing us so much!
I'm thanking Him today for the wonderful husband He gave me.

Happy Anniversary!
Aww...lovely pictures! You were just kids! Happy Day to both of you! ;)
Such a beautiful bride and such a dashingly handsome groom. Bob looks like he could have doubled for Leslie Howard as Ashley in Gone With The Wind! And you are lovelier than Melanie Wilkes could dream of being. Thanks for sharing your sweet memories with us. You and Bob have a sweet family and I wish you many, many more years of wedded bliss! Oh and way to rock that '80s 'do, Mari!
Happy Anniversary you two!
Beautiful picture.
Happy Anniversary!!
Happy 31st Anniversary. Enjoy this special day.
Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary! Lovely dress! The majority of girls today wear the strapless wedding dresses and many would look better in something with sleeves. I think our generation did a bit better on that end!;>)
You're fortunate as you know. I married at 19 and he was 21 and it didn't work out. I didn't know who I was and he knew who he wanted me to be(like his mother). Eventually the real me didn't make him happy. My high school sweetheart, however, fortunately realized 25 years later that I did make him happy.
Oh Mari, I love to see your wedding pictures, how beautiful you look! Happy anniversary and thank you for being that kind of couple the world needs more of. A couple who's children can see an example of a Godly marriage. May all your years be blessed!
So I just showed this post to Anna and she says- "Whoaaaaaa- that looks nothing like Uncle Bob.....He has hair!" :)
I copied these pictures and put them in a file some time back. I LOVE your wedding pictures! You and your sisters were such beautiful brides! Happy Anniversary to you and to Bob! When this came up, I read it to Alan. He said to be sure to wish you and Bob a Happy Anniversary.

Happy Anniversary! You are the best parents anyone could ask for. I am so blessed to have parents that show me everyday a godly marriage!

A happy Anniversary! That's a gorgeous couple - and all those memories that go with 31 years! What a blessing if the Lord's the center of your lives. God bless for many, many more!
Today hubby was already in the lunch room when I joined him. Gave him a quick kiss and the other residents were smiling!! I said that I'd better be careful or news will get out that I'm going around kissing the residents!! We had fun! We're just a little ahead of you with 46 years.
Hi Mari,
