It was a Saturday afternoon in El Paso, Texas, in a small courthouse, when Kathy and I exchanged vows and rings and committed ourselves to each other.  We later dined at McDonald’s, stayed at the Motel 6, and walked across the border to visit Juarez.

As weddings and honeymoons go, it was pretty low budget, and certainly nothing fancy.  Since then I have attended countless weddings, and performed many of the ceremonies.  Some were as large as 500 guests, while others were as small as 4, including the bride and groom.

The locations of weddings I have attended or officiated varied greatly, from a cozy living room, to a beach on the Pacific Ocean, to very high end hotels.   But when it is all said and done, what’s most important is the commitment a man and a woman make to each other.

Recently I talked to someone about this.  I told them what is most important is not who performs your ceremony, or where it is located, or even how many people attend.  What is most important is the commitment the bride and groom make to each other.

So, after 42 years of marriage, what do I look forward to?  How about another 42?  I realize that would put me over the century mark in age, but why not?  I would greatly enjoy spending another 42 years with my best friend, the most wonderful woman I know.

Happy Anniversary, Kathy!
