Today, Derek and I celebrated our 20th Wedding Anniversary! :)
The following shots were taken on one of the most memorable days of my life and today I have been reflecting on that day, as well as all that has transpired since then. We are enjoying this marriage journey and I am soooo blessed to be travelling with my best friend.
As I flipped through our Wedding Album, I was filled with all the memories and blessings that the Lord had given us on that day and thankful that He continues to bless us 20 years later...
Enjoy my trip through memory lane...
The entire Sampley family was in our wedding: Mike officiated, DeAnn was my maid of honor, Nicole was my junior bridesmaid, and Kristen was my flower girl...so fun!!Finally...Mr. & Mrs.!!
My mom and dad...love you guys so much!!
Derek's parents...I am so fortunate to have the greatest in-laws!
The Bridal Party: Angela--Derek's sister, who is an incredible SIL!DeAnn--my mentor since Jr. High
Sherry--college roommate
Nicole & Kristen--such special girls who are now incredible young women with their own families!
Notice the perms? Yep, a big deal in 1989!!
Derek and Angela...siblings and friends :)
Three generations: Grandma Nonie, Me, and my Mom...
One of my favorites...
Let the party begin...I wish I could remember what made my dad and I laugh so hard here, maybe it was just the fun of dancing! Indeed, we all had sooooo much fun!!
Derek and his mom...
This one is for you Kristen...you were so proud that your two front teeth were missing :) It seems like yesterday...
Okay, I don't know how many of you will remember back to the 80's but PeeWee Herman was quite popular and here is Derek (on top of a table) doing his special dance to the PeeWee Herman theme song! A classic memory for many of us!! :)
The last picture of our amazing day...off to the honeymoon ;)
I Love You, Babe...thanks for an amazing 20 years!
Okay....the tears are here as I remember that wonderful day that our son married the love of his life and gave us one super daughter in law who has kept her promise to him as he has to her. Your example of Ephesians 5:22-33 is a light in this dark world. God has blessed you richly and may you have a long loving marriage in Christ.
