Twenty-five years ago today, a lovely young girl married a delightful young boy in the living room of his parents’ home. The boy and girl (because that’s really what they were) had been just friends until one day they decided they were in love and wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. They planned a small wedding and four months later, the boy and the girl became one.
They were a perfect match.
Both were still a little green around the edges as many young boys and girls were back then, but together, through trial and error, the two grew into adults, learning the ways of the world and how to navigate within it.
They were a perfect match.
The boy and girl went on to have many adventures together. Over that time, they obtained their degrees, made their home in four different states, met lots of interesting people, adopted several animals, and traveled to some wonderful places. They saw each other through their highs and lows and through all of the things that life inevitably brings – job changes and challenges, surgeries, loss of a parent, loss of pets, big decisions, and occasionally times of uncertainty. Some days along the way were more difficult than others. But most days were easy. The girl loved the boy so much, and she always felt loved by the boy.
They were a perfect match.
Today that boy and girl cannot believe there is a whole quarter of a century behind them. They are very proud that in a world where love doesn’t often last, and where some choose not to see it through, they not only love each other but genuinely still like each other too. And after all of the laughs they have shared and all of the fun they have had, they know that today marks just the beginning of all that is to come.
We are that perfect match.

J & D > It’s so good that you have shared these lovely and very personal photos : don’t you think it takes others with a good deal of life experience to intuit the life experiences written into your faces? It seems only a few years ago, shortly after we moved to the islands, that we celebrated our 25th – but we’re already well past our 40th!!
Wow, that’s wonderful. Congratulations to you both. Time really flies, doesn’t it? And it’s all the sweeter when that time is spent with your best friend.
Aw, look at you two! Fabulous pictures. Congratulations – and, as you know, it only gets better as time goes on (38 years and counting here).
Thank you so much, Anabel. And congrats to you as well!
