Surprise!
So I have been carrying around this huge secret since July and it feels so good to finally get it off my chest because I am the worst liar ever! I have been planning my parents surprise anniversary party that took place last weekend. My brother and I, with the help of some family members, rented out a room at a restaurant and successfully pulled off the biggest surprise of the century! If you knew my parents you would know how hard this is because they are so noisy! My brother is not a very good liar either so this was extremely hard for both of us but we did it and it was definitely worth it! My family really came together and everyone was so helpful, I could not be more grateful to be surrounded by so many great people!
Mom and dad, we finally got ya :) They have been married for twenty five years!! I cannot even fathom being together with anyone for that long! It amazes me that my parents have been together since high school! I can't imagine being married to my high school boyfriend, I am sure it would have been short lived. But what is the matter with society that being together forever is so unheard of these days? What happened to 'til death do us part'? Divorce is such a common occurrence these days that it makes you really appreciate marriage when you come across couples that have stuck it out!

Times change and our reality of what's right and wrong also changes over time. 3K years ago, it was very common for a man to have as many wives as he can afford. Today (especially in America) we believe that to be wrong.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what will happen to the institution of marriage - but I'm certain it will change.
