25th Wedding Anniversary

 coming up next month.  Kyle and I want to re-new our vows in church with my childhood Pastor.  We eloped when we got married 25 years ago and got married on the beaches of Panama City Beach, Florida.  Our lives have changed drastically since those days and we want to re-new our vows in church.  I have a lovely formal champagne colored dress I wore in our daughter Holly's wedding.  It's gorgeous and I would love the chance to wear it again.  We don't want a lot of people, just immediate family and maybe a few church members that might want to come.  We want to do it on a Sunday afternoon between church services and maybe have a "snak and yak" after church that night.  We have chosen "I will be here" by Steven Curtis Chapman to be played as I walk down the isle, The Lord's Prayer, to be played or sung when we take communion and possibly......GROW OLD WITH YOU, by Adam Sandler at the very end as we walk out together.  Not sure of that last one, but it's just a thought.  Any feedback appreciated.  There will be no decorating, no flowers unless I carry a single rose with ribbon streamers.  It's going to be very very simple.  I will order a regular round white cake from Publix and get a silver 25th to go on top or something of that nature.  This is something Kyle and I are working on together and we're so excited.  Holly and Beau just got a wonderful new camera and Beau will take pictures.  Like I said, it's going to be super simple and just for US!  Any advice would be appreciated.  If you have any negativity to share, please do so privately.

I think it's a great idea and sounds very tasteful.  This from a church musician who has played HUNDREDS of weddings!!!!!  Remember there is NO right or wrong - it is what is meaningful to YOU!!!!  CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Congratulations!  What you describe sounds beautiful.  It is all about what you want--this is your special milestone so it is all about you and your DH. 

I pray you continue to receive many more blessings in life!

Kim

Congratulations!!  It all sounds very nice.  I hope you have many more happy years together.

I'm gonna post my negative comment right here!!!!  I can't be there and I am sad.  You know it is such a milestone in this day and time when a couple is together 25 years.  You and Kyle have such a special relationship and it shows when you talk about him.  I am so happy for you and I want your day to be special.  I say go for it and have the special things you want for your day.

On another note, Jimmy and I have a booking in Opelika.  I am not sure of the date or other information but I will be sure to let you know when it is.  I am needing to see our Elle!!!

Love you!!!

 LADYBUG--you better let me know when you will be in Opelika.  I am just over an hour from there and I will see you if I have to hitch-hike with an IV pole in tow 

Aw, Mrs. Debbie, Thank you.  Please let me know some dates and I'll do my best to see you guys.  We miss you two, too.

 Forrester Sisters "I'd Choose You Again" and Kenny Rogers " Through The Years"

Both of these have special meaning to us after 22 years and some ups and downs and sticking together through hard times

Ahhhhh, LOVE KENNY ROGERS.  Gonna go look up that Forrester Sisters song.  Not sure if I know that one or not.  Thanks for the input.  I'm trying to find a few other songs to have played before hand.

 I know several songs that would be great.  Let me find my list. Be right back
