On Saturday September 12, our friends Gerald and Dee celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. It was sweet, short, and simple – wonderful! My Papa performed their first marriage ceremony, and they actually held their anniversary vow renewal about a month early to save Papa and Mama an extra trip up from Florida and have them be a part of the celebration.

Shots from the “ceremony” on G&D’s deck (they live rightnext to the Missouri River; it’s gorgeous):

The reception:

And at the glassblowers there in New Haven – such a neat experience!
