Mom and Dad's 30th Anniversary



 30th Anniversary


 About a week ago, I got to spend some much needed time with my family while my man was away with his students. My parents were celebrating their 30th anniversary and I'm so glad I got to share that time with them. We had big plans to do a re-dedication of their vows in one of the beautiful parks in New Orleans (where my sister lives) but the rain never let up and a strange virus was making its way through the Cromer family so plan B had to do. Well, it turned out to be a very sweet evening to share with family in my sister's home (especially since I didn't know the tears would come so easily). Clay (my brother-in-law) and Callie (my sister) did a great job planning out the ceremony, which included a lovely duet by the two of them. They chose a song by George Jones and Dolly Parton called Rockin' Years. The lyrics were perfect for the occasion and I only wish I had a recording of Callie and Clay's version.
Here is a video of the song if you would like to have a listen.

After the vow renewal we headed into the kitchen for pink lemonade, petit fours, nuts, and mints. It was all perfectly simple.
I'm so lucky to have seen a marriage that has stood the test of time. I love you both!!
