It’s our silver wedding anniversary today. Here we are on our big day 25 years ago, 9th August 1986 at St Mary Magdalene Church in Westerfield, Suffolk. The Church celebrated its 900th anniversary that same year.
I can’t believe a quarter of a century has gone by. We’ve done a lot of things in that time – lived in three countries (and Chris has worked in a fourth), moved seven times, had three children, held an impressive variety of jobs, had ups and downs and triumphs and disasters – but most of all, been happy!
Here’s to our next 25 years.
What a beautiful bride!
You’re very kind, Helen! Thank you.
Happy Anniversary! I think a happy marriage is a wonderful accomplishment. Enjoy your day and may the next 25 years bring lots of love, blessings, and happiness.
Thank you Shannon.
Happy anniversary!
Thanks Liz. Recovering today – we had a party last night and massively overcatered so been busy stashing food away in the freezer!
HI Liz, just to say I can’t manage to leave comments on your blog at the mo. I go thru Live Journal and it’s not co-operating. But I do read and enjoy it. Am following you on Twitter. If you follow me @llamamum then we can keep in touch better that way!
Congratulations! Wishing you the very best for today and the years ahead!
This is crazy Stephanie. Our silver wedding anniversary is today, August 10th, 1986.
We eloped to Hawaii and married there. Did you do anything special yesterday?
My dad kept trying to get me to elope! We had a small ceremony in a 900 year old church in Suffolk. We had a party here last night for friends and family. Recovering today and catching up with the washing up!
Thank you Lilian. We had a great day!
I’m a bit late, here, but congratulations anyway. Lovely photos – it’s a cliché to say you look radiant, but you do. Here’s to the next 25.
Thank you Vanessa! I always think Chris looks decidedly worried in that photo. Possibly a ‘what have I done?’ moment? He assures me it was the sun in his eyes though.
Yes, he looks a bit happier when cutting the cake. Resigned to his fate by that time…
