This post is in honor of my parents - over three decades friends, and thirty years exactly (on Aug 22 tomorrow) as a married pair. Congrats!!!
As a newlywed myself (this counts until 1 year in, right?), their love and relationship has always been a strong foundation to which I referred during years of pining and heartache - between my husband Michael and me (and even the few, less-adored boys before him). One of the most memorable qualities of their love is that they are in fact, friends first and foremost. This connection has fostered growth, shared parenting, individual hobbies, and a unified front as an admirable couple.
Without them, my sisters and I would of course not be; without us, our others would not have formed our family's now-termed "wolfpack." To the fantastic couple known as Laurence and Annie, I wish you thirty+ years more to travel together in love and life, and allow us around you to marvel in your journey! All the best <3
