Wedding vows renewed...
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 3 May 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
In Cana, Israel, in 1996, wedding vows were renewed for any of the couples in our group. Rev. Jim Morris, who led our group, and the same pastor who had married our son in 1993, did the honors in our 37th year. The only thing we didn't have were the jugs of water turned into wine. ♥

What a great memory! I noticed this was your 37th year - it is our 37th year this year. But we won't be in Israel.

1996 was a special year to be in a remarkable place and renew the special union you two have with each other.
This really is a fantastic image of you both.

@tyan: Marriage to us meant a lifetime commitment from the very beginning - not options!
Divorce was never in our vocabulary. Congratulations on your five years! xx

Darn. The water into wine thing would have been cool, but I guess the renewal of vows was a good thing. ;)
