On August 1, 1981, Mark and I were wed in a small country church in a very non-traditional wedding (we were children of the 60's and 70's for goodness sakes) We wrote our own vows and chose the quote on the bottom of the collage from Song of Solomon to be our wedding theme verse. It is what we both said to one another as we slipped our wedding bands on to each other's fingers. This photo is our actual engagement photo we had taken in a shop near the St. Charles area in St. Louis (where Mark is from). I made this collage in KC Willis's collage conference which I tell more about on my studio blog. This weekend we are celebrating 30 years of marriage. I am happy to say that we are still very much in love with one another. Our wedding date was 8-1-81.

Katie- Happy Anniversary!!! What a wonderful post- and the collage is to die for! I could tell you took a KC Willis class- you Lucky Girl! It turned out gorgeous~~~ Your other posts are beautiful as well- your verse about hope is stunning. And the teacher pics are hoot- spot on I would say! Enjoy your last bit of vacation...Hugs!
Having seen this art in person
and that love in person
I'd say it is indeed
a fitting tribute.
But.
It can't come close to the
power in thirty years
of a shared life
and love.
I love you, dear heart.
Happy Anniversary,dear friend!!!
Love,love the collage.
Have a wonderful week.
Hugs,
Marie
