Prime examples

"I found him whom my heart loves. I took hold of him and would not let him go." - excerpt from Song of Songs 3: 4

Kris and I are so blessed to have not one but two prime examples of a good marriage. We are fortunate that both our parents have been married for over 30 years and shown us through their experiences what it takes to make a marriage work. Both of our families have endured many struggles over the years but they have worked through it all with the help of faith and trust in God. They love their spouses tenderly and completely. They give generously to their children and grandchildren. They continue to provide for their family when they are in need. They have taught us both how to be a better spouse. We are fortunate to have them in our lives as they continue to be the example to us.

Parents of the bride
Parents of the groom
Mom and Dad celebrated 39 years of marriage on  October 23
Mom and Dad celebrated 40 years of marriage on August 15
There is almost 120 years total of marriage experience between the three couples here. It is more than a lifetime but we are grateful for the example that they have shown us.
Thank you to our parents for being examples to us in our new marriage. We are so blessed to have both of your in our lives.
