Good Morning!!! As the title says there's an anniversary in the house! Yes, ours. We met 36 years ago at our high school. My husband had been attending since he was in 7th grade. I began attending when I was in 10th grade. We met when we were in 9th grade. How rude of me, our school that we attended together is Faith Heritage School located here in Upstate New York.
We were married at ages 21 and 22. I know so young, but we were so in love. We also had to kind of rush things because my husband to be was to be deployed. We got married and three days later he was deployed.
Our ceremony was beautiful. We loved that all our family and friends could be there for us. We had some mishaps during the ceremony, but what wedding gets off without a mishap or something not going as planned. Everything was starting out smoothly, but then it happened. We were about to light the unity candle and it decided that it was not going to be lit. I say that because our maid of honor purchased our unity candle as a gift. She placed it up there on the altar to surprise us. We loved the candle. Time to light the candle.......hmmm, what's happening? Why can't we light it?? The wick is nowhere to be found! It's shaved clean! Thankfully our Pastor is well equipped with extras, hehe. I say that because he pulled out a pocket knife! A pocket knife!! He started digging to find the wick. He said "Try again".....we tried and no, the candle still was not lighting. He digs again...we try and no we don't have light, lol. He turns to the side digs again. He says, "Ok, now let's try this again, it should light now." No, this candle was very stubborn it still would not light. Now, he grabs the candle, I let out a giggle. He turns all the way around and begins digging at the candle again. He places the candle back down tells us to try again. We tried.........we have success!!!! It's lit!!!! Here is a picture of us with the mischievous candle.
