Staying together in Marriage for 40 years.

In traditional Wedding vows...there is this phrase....
'.....for Richer or poorer, in sickness and health, till death do us part." Fourty years ago, when I said my wedding vows, I was full of many emotions. Most Brides & Grooms will wonder if they are doing the right thing, if this person is THE right person for them. So many things come into play... attitudes towards money, raising children, her family, his family, jobs, stepchildren and so on.

Well here we are 40 years later. Every married couple has their joys, triumphs, and their failures and not-so-great moments. No-one is perfect. We are led to believe by the media that the Perfect One exists for us, in reality, staying together requires patience, communication, compromise, and more patience. Marriage is hard work.

Having a renewal of Wedding vows at 25, 30, 40, or 50 years is a wonderful idea. It's something happy and positive to celebrate!

We also do Weddings for those getting married later on in Life....like this beautiful Bouquet for Miss L. One of the themes for this celebration was Butterflies, and we were able to work this sparkly Butterfly into her Bouquet. Here at the Camellia, we specialize in faux Botanicals.
