Happy 20th Anniversary: Surprise!

No one can ever truly prepare us for what it means to hold firmly to the vows we make when head over heels in love.  It all seems like it will be easy then.  But, talk to any married couple and they’ll tell you marriage is full of highs and lows they never predicted or imagined.  Divorce rates are sobering in a world which increasingly doesn’t seem to attach much value to marriage.  This is why celebrating anniversaries, 20 to be exact, is something that should be marked with great joy.

And a celebration is just what Tracey planned to surprise Ken.  She wanted to celebrate their approaching 20th wedding anniversary with a surprise vow renewal.  She knew Ken was taking her on a trip for their 20th and she wanted to do something to surprise him as well.  She wanted him to know she’d choose him all over again and her love has only grown more deeply rooted in her heart as each year passes.

Well, Ken was certainly surprised!  He knew Tracey had special dinner plans arranged for them at Gramercy Mansion.  What he didn’t know is that their closest family and friends would be waiting there to celebrate with them.  Their pastors officiated a heart felt ceremony, reminding Tracey and Ken that a three fold strand is not easily broken.  They were reminded that staying the course, faithful to the vows made before God and man is no easy task.  It requires a daily humbling of one’s self to set aside your own desires and comforts to will the best for another.  Tracey and Ken have done just that.  They have weathered life’s storms and look first and foremost to the Lord to be their provider and sustainer in all things.  The Lord has proven Himself faithful time and time again in Tracey and Ken’s life.  They were encouraged to continue to hold fast to their faith in the Lord and to each other through all that awaits them in life.

  The celebration was laced in joy, delicious food, dancing music, gorgeous decor and lots of laughter.  This was all thanks to the family and friends who poured out their love to make this day memorable.

Tracey and Ken enjoy your next 20 years as you await all God has for you!  It was an honor to mark down your love and joy on this special night!  And I’m so glad you obliged 2 minutes outdoors in the freezing temps for a quick portrait!
