To Steve xxx
25 years ago today I married the kindest, most selfless man in the world. We look so young in this picture, and totally unaware of what lay ahead of us.
Since then we've experienced life ups and downs; joy, happiness, tragedy, comedy, excitement and grief ... I wouldn't change a thing about this journey, because it's brought us to where we are today, and there is nowhere else I want to be than by his side.
Tonight we will celebrate together with a meal at a local restaurant and then on Friday our children are treating us to an evening celebration at the place where we had our wedding reception all those years ago. Feeling well and truly blessed.
Love, Claire
Congratulations to you both Claire, what lovely sentiments, enjoy your celebrations xxxx

ReplyDeleteHi Claire. Just got back from Spain and saw your post.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your Silver Wedding Anniversary, enjoy all your celebratory plans.
I feel exactly the same about my Chris, we have been married 29 years and I love him more now than ever. Just having a little cry as Eve (my oldest) has a date to move into her house in Vic Ave next Wednesday (mixed joy and sad!!)
It will be a Wedding for us next so on a diet and feeling the strain.
Super to see a fab photo of you and Steve.
