My husband and I are just two days from celebrating our 43rd wedding anniversary! We met on an active volcano (Mt. Lassen in Northern California) and were married on my grandpa/ma Fullmer's 55th anniversary - both sets of my grandparents and my parents had long committed marriages. They all set the example for me of loving, honoring and cherishing my husband. I never one time heard my grandparents or parents say anything negative about each other - I think this is what the vows mean - or part of it - when we commit to love, honor, and cherish the one we marry. (This is an engagement photo of us on Mt. Lassen where we met, and a wedding photo . . . we were SO young!!!)
I'm so thankful for Dave. He is a gift from God's hand. I love him. I will honor him. I do cherish him!

My grandsons are young, but I want the example they remember of their grandparent's marriage to be one which shows we loved, honored, and cherished each other, so when they make the choice to get married (if they do), they will want marriages where they love, honor, and cherish whoever they marry.
