I was planning on posting about my parents' anniversary today, and I'm not going to let my mom lumping it in with her pickles prevent me!
Because thirty years of happy marriage is worth celebrating.
In fact, I'd say that my parents' example of a loving, giving marriage and the happy home that they preside over have a lot to do with the two weddings in our family this summer – they're a wonderful advertisement for married life!
Many of you noticed my wedding veil, which is indeed the same one my mother wore. See? Habou and Mama, thirty years ago today:
Mama and me, five weeks ago:
Happy Anniversary, Mama and Papa – Philip and I are just twenty-nine years and eleven months behind you. I hope we do you proud!

This is such a sweet post…how lucky you are to have a marriage such as your parents to inspire you and your husband as you begin your life together– congratulations by the way! And how lucky your parents are to have an endearing daughter put together such a lovely post. Congrats to you, too, Leila!
