This will be my only post this week ... no engineering stuff ... no Web 2.0 information, because Molly and I have achieved Wedding 25.0 ! This new love sharing application will be released to the general public on Wednesday, May 21st (our 25th Wedding Anniversary)!
How does one define Wedding 25.0? Here is my answer ...
In 25 years of marriage I have only worn one piece of jewelry, my wedding ring. In those 25 years I've only taken off my ring three times. Once on my wedding night, to read the inscriptions with my bride ... once on my 15th wedding anniversary when Molly and I renewed our vows and wanted to show our children the inscriptions ... and once with my wife at a jewelry store to have the ring shined up. The final occasion was a mistake ... as this banged up ring has never ceased to glow. It did not need buffing!
Our celebration starts this evening when our children take us out to dinner, and tomorrow Molly and I are escaping to our beloved North Shore of Lake Superior.
I invite you to watch this short four minute video which I created for my bride, Molly. It takes the Hoeg family quickly through 25 years of life! If you are so inclined, please leave Molly and me a comment. Molly will not be aware of this blog post till after I preview the video for her and the kids at dinner!
- Rich and Molly - 25 Years of Love - 4 minute video
(may take a moment to load ... please be patient)
An addendum ... the kids fooled us! The restaurant was full of friends reaching back to grade school!
Congratulations to both of you. Hope your time away was a blessing. The Lord's blessing on the rest of your life too.
Much love,
Dave and Sue Alberts
