Its never too late when your in love. A man and a woman had been together for 17 years. In some states its called common law marriage. In some other states it not. But they have raised 2 children for whom they are very proud of. The oldest will graduate this year and the second child has 1 year left of high school. But after 17 years they decided that they are getting married. But just didn'tknow when. Their children where shocked because they never knew that their parents never been married. The reason why they never married is not important. So one of the kids decided to ask why didn't you 2 ever get married. So the father said life happen first we planned to marry and the family's didn't get along then , I got deployed your mother went to college and then we had you and your sister. So in a nut shell life happened. I always wanted to give her the wedding of her dreams. The mother said that she didn't want it to be a strain on them financially. Besides after all these years who cares? The kids replied we care about y'all dreams just like you care about our dreams.
So 2 weeks ago was 17 years that the couple has been together. So their kids invited everybody they could think of to come to their church and ask them not to contact their parents. Just to attend the service and please don't be late. They talked to the pastor of their church to perform a mocked ceremony for their parents. The church was filled with people that they had not seen in years. Plus close friends and co-workers. The son brought the wedding bands and the daughter brought the flowers . The son's classmate took pictures along with other's people who used their cell phones. A friend booked them a reservation at a nice hotel for 2 nights.
The parents said that it was the best anniversary ever. It was simple but filled with love ones,friends and their children made their day unforgettable. In the end money is not important, time may pass but true love conquers all.
wow that was so beautiful and their kids are great to think of that for their parents in that way. I bet they will never forget that day.
