Stephenson 40th wedding anniversay. what an inspiration.

"a love 40 years young"
Those were the words on the presentation. It was a close gathering of family and friends. Everyone was very excited. The venue was really nice and the food was good. There was a presentation with a history of their lives in photos. It was absolutely AWESOME. We all wanted to know what their secret was.

It is so rare to find two people who are willing to grit their teeth and keep going through the tough times no matter what. He was an alcoholic for many years and now he is having his 40th wedding anniversary completely dry and loving it. There were many times when the average person today would just have quit, but my mother in law saw it through.

We need more people in this age who are prepared to take responsibility for their vows and live by what they say in them.

What a mighty inspiration.

Some pictures include the three daughters and some grand children who were there as well.
What a blessing.
