1004. Happy Valentine's Day (soon)! Family Wedding Pictures, by 2018, through the years!
This is an updated version of my Valentine Post! as of Feb. 14th, 2018.
This was first written in 2014 --- and updated as marriages happened!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, ALL! Wayne and I had a tradition for many years on Valentine's Day, and on our Wedding Anniversary -- Wayne was so thoughtful and always gave me a gift that had a feminine flair! The little tradition involves something Wayne found years ago, and between special days, it has had a spot in our storage cabinet. He got up earlier than I did, and had it all set up and lighted! A fun TRADITION ! ! Anita took pictures of it.
We tried a black background, and a white one, so I'll put both on. As you can see, it has a cord, and when plugged in, the roses have a light inside! A simple thing, but it is a TRADITION! !
I'm posting this early, and hope you all enjoy this, and your own special people who are your "Valentines"!
These photos below are not in any particular order! Us, our parents, and the grandparents we have photos for, mostly wedding pictures. We do have pictures of other ancestors, some of which are on the blog already. but we will add them later, with their stories. If you'd like to read more about someone here, please go to their names under "labels" on the blog home page, and click, and it will bring up the blogs that include stories about them. My parents are in several blogs, which you can find by their names. I'll put some others on here ---
