As you approach the farmhouse, you see them in the distance, and you stop and smile...already getting misty-eyed...
Barron and Linda Wheeler...it is their 50th wedding anniversary. That is the dress she wore 50 years ago!
Let's go find a seat on the beautiful, undulating flagstone porch...there's plenty of chairs, spilling out onto the lawn beyond - there's going to be plenty of guests!
Pastor Tim welcomes everyone, and officiates the anniversary ceremony...
At the close, the whole family, Barron, Linda, children, and grandchildren gather to sing "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" together with all their guests...
Now, it's time to head to the famous barn, for dinner and plenty of dancing to tunes from the 50's and 60's! (Seeing my own parents dancing together to "Unchained Melody" was a definite highlight of the evening...)
I hope you enjoyed getting to "go with me" to the celebration last night. Thanks for hanging in there with me as we served punch together, and helped clean up afterwards! If you are anything like me, you are kinda tired today...
But wasn't it worth it?
Fifty years. Imagine that. Congratulations, Barron and Linda and family!
