Happy 35th Anniversary

To My Wonderful Husband! I Love You!

On June 14, 1975, we were married at the old First Baptist Church in downtown Houston. Yes, we look like babies and to some degree we were. We were high school sweethearts that were marrying at the tender age of twenty. We were both working full time and attending the University of Houston.


We were married by our pastor, Dr. John Bisagno. Brother John had just said something funny and sadly, I can't remember what it was but the photographer caught the results!




We were attended to in our wedding by family and friends. The guys were Tony's two high school friends, his new brother-in-law and his favorite and only brother. The girls were my sweet sister, my best friend, my little sis from drill team, and my new sister-in-law. They all wore their favorite colors which meant ours was a rainbow wedding. (Rainbow as in the one the Lord placed in the sky as a promise to Noah and all future generations!) The different colors were brought together by the variety of summer flowers worn in their hair and found in their bouquets.

The house party was made up of three sweet friends from high school and three of our closest cousins. They were all kind enough to make dresses to wear for the wedding. Pretty in pink!

It was a typical Southern Baptist Church wedding and reception with nothing but wedding cake, grooms cake, punch, coffee, nuts and mints! After the reception, we left for a weekend honeymoon at the Warwick Hotel (now known as the Hotel ZaZa) in the Museum District! I guess that was when our age or lack of said really stood out because the hotel was so nice that we hated to leave the room because we were never sure who we needed to tip! ;-)

Thirty-five years later I love my husband more than the day I married him and I pray that our marriage will speak to all the world of the power and indestructible joy of living in obedience to the Word of God.

To celebrate we have planned a wonderful trip to Europe where we will experience the reality of scripture as we trace the Apostle Paul's second missionary trip as he delivered the gospel from Philippi to Ephesus. We will be traveling with the author and international Bible teach Kay Arthur and we are looking forward to a life-changing experience!
