Planning for this day, we created an Ultimate Purpose for having a wedding and this is what we came up with: · to share and celebrate our love with the people closest to us and to have a great time connecting with them and each other in a relaxed, fun environment. We also want to show them a little glimpse of who we are and the life we lead. · to model a loving relationship for the kids · to honor each other as the loves of our lives. We’ve taken a long time to get here. · to demonstrate age is irrelevant and that it is never too late for love. · Because It is Chuck’s first time being married or even engaged, we are celebrating all-out with a traditional wedding party, and full-blown dinner and dancing. Covid isolation also led us to feel a big celebration was needed. We haven’t even met some people that are important to the other. · Life is short and we learned that all too well when I was diagnosed with cancer and through the pandemic. We feel strongly that love is to be celebrated and openly want to express that love at any age, at any stage of life is a gift and a blessing and worthy to be fully displayed.
