August 18th marks our 36th Wedding Anniversary. I wish I could tell you how much my life with my husband means to me. I was so young, only 18, when we met. And we have had many struggles in our life together. My husband and I have 4 precious babies in heaven, and we battled with infertility. We have had career changes that involved moving from family and friends. And now, we have my health issues. But no matter what, my husband has always loved me, and I always KNEW it. He has always been and always is there for me. He is truly my life companion. I am so blessed to have met a man who loves his Saviour and has loved me and been so good to me through the joys and the heartaches. I thank the Lord every day for this blessing.
We are looking forward to spending some time together this coming weekend. I am sure we will remember together our early years, the years waiting for children, finally having children, now grandchildren. We will laugh at how good we looked back then, but we didn't KNOW it! We will shake our heads and wonder where all the years went. And we will cry and pray that the Lord will allow us many more years together and with many good days.
Celestina, who last week celebrated their 36th anniversary, posted her Bridal picture and it was so beautiful that I thought I would post mine as well. This was truly one of the three best days of my life!
We are still Kissing!!!

Happy Anniversary! What a beautiful bride you were. I know what you mean by looking at the old pics and thinking ...I looked good back then! ...but didn't know it. That is so true! :)
I hope you have a wonderful weekend celebration and 36 more years!

Hmmm....how'd I miss that nearly strawberry blonde hair? I don't remember you having strawberry blonde hair! You know, I can't remember the bridesmaids dresses at all - were they green? I'm getting old.
Congratulations and many more to come! In another month we're celebrating 31 - that's another thing I don't remember - we married 5 years apart??
aww, how sweet! happy anniversary! very exciting :)

You ask about the OC pic....you are more than welcome to take it and any other OC things I post that you're interested in. At the start of Sept, (our month) I want to post a teal awareness ribbon that other gals who also want to help us get the word out during our month, can take and post to their own blogs in support.
I hope you start feeling better soon, of course, about time you start to feel better from one treatment, it's alreayd time for the next. You're in my prayers, pretty lady*!

Happy belated anniversary! Oh my, this post really struck home for me in so many ways. In December, my hubby and I will celebrate our 37th anniversary. We can't believe how fast the years have flown by either!
My dress looked so much like yours it gave me goosebumps! My veil was almost identical too, but not as long. I also wore my (brunette) hair similiar to yours..."gypsy shag?" AND I have a photo of me in almost the same pose. Deja vu, for sure! :)
Happy anniversary to you and your hubby! Such a sweet love story!

Happy Anniversary, Ceekay! Your photos are precious memories of a blessed time in a woman's life, and you are blessed to have so many years of growing up and growing old-er together. Even with the heartache, life with a loving partner is wonderful. I pray your health will improve and you will be showing us pictures of your 50th wedding anniversary in 14 short years! Take care! Mary

I just came over from another blog and am glad I found you, sugar! I see you've been married 36 years and that's quite an accomplishment nowadays. Nice meeting new bloggers so I occasionally visit from other blogs when I see one that might interest me. I don't THINK I've ever been here before but when ya get "OLD" ya forget things, chickee!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY...Oh girl how pretty you were on your wedding day...WOW!! 36 years way to go my friend...I made it once to 31 years before I lost my best friend...May you have a GREAT weekend dear friend...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
Totally embarrassed, ceekay!! I thought the name was familiar but I'm clueless sometimes. Forgive me. I look at so many bloggers and have almost 200 on my Google Reader that I get them all mixed up sometimes. I'll add you to my Google Reader to keep in touch with you ALWAYS from now on, sweetpea. Oooooh, embarrrassed!!!!!!! Sigh........

Dear CeeKay!! Congrats on your anniversary and being soooooo lucky to have found each other!!! I LOVED your sweet tribute to your hubby. . .it's very apparent he shares the very same feelings about you. I chuckled over your statement about "we laugh now at how good we looked back then, but we didn't KNOW it!" Amen to that one!! :) You WERE a beautiful bride and you are still a beautiful woman!
Have a great celebration with your hubby! L, Dana
Hi Cheekay, Happy Anniversary! Thanks for your visit and nice comments. My aunt will appreciate them. Kristen
