In a patriotic theme, we’ll wrap up our ‘Bride’ series with a gem from the Love Stories archive: Gretchen’s grandparents’ love story, now 50 years and counting! ~Lanier
Instead of a wedding ceremony on a sunny Saturday in June, ours was on a rainy Wednesday night in January; but it was not lacking in love and joy…

Jessica and Bill celebrate 50 years of marriage in 2004
When I was eight years old I discovered an old typewriter in my parents’ storage house, which I hauled out and set up on my blue and white desk and promptly began work on the next Great American Novel. (Don’t look for it in the stores—it was replaced by a historical epic set in the colonial West Indies. And that one eventually gave way to the inevitable Gothic romance…) I’ve literally been writing ever since, though I’ve upgraded to a laptop (and, no, I don’t type much better than I did when I was eight) and traded in (most) of my ‘high-faluting mumbo jumbo’ for a rapturous chronicle of the Beauty and Truth and Goodness of the God of my life.
I loved this story. Thank you so much for sharing it.
oh my this was such a beautiful wonderful story of their love for each other..Thank you Gretchen for such a wonderful tale of your grandparent’s journey! my grandparents too were married for almost 50 years now!! amazing, isn’t it?

May God richly bless your grandparents for many more years to come!
Blessings!
In His Love, Jane
Thank you for those beautiful posts. I also get married on a snowy day in January, four years ago. I hope it will last fifty years or more, like Gretchen’s grandparents. I’m so happy for now…
I do apologize for my bad english. I’m French and try to do my best… but I must make a lot of mistakes in spite of this.
Best wishes to those who celebrate a wedding anniversary and God bless you all.
