It was more than 10 years ago that Lisa and Roy first met.  At that time, they had no way of knowing what the future had in store for them.  In the years to come, there would be laughter and tears, triumphs and trials, successes and failures, and joys and sorrows.  But in those early days as they learned to love and respect one another, little did they know that this was the start of something special!

Time passed and that love and respect deepened.  Then, on June 27, 1992, Lisa and Roy were married at Brownwood, Texas.

Many memories of that wedding day are still vivid: the special people who were present for the occasion; the last minute details that still needed attention; the plans that didn't quite happen as planned!  But of all the memories of that day, the most important are those of the ceremony itself, when Lisa and Roy stood together, exchanged their solemn vows, and were pronounced husband and wife.

Their marriage began with a honeymoon in Orlando, Florida.  This was a time to privately share their hopes and dreams for the future.  From the moment they moved into their first home, at Midland, Texas, they shared, as husband and wife, in all that life had to offer.  And, to this day, there are times when fond memories of that first home come to mind.

As they knew it would, life brought many changes for Lisa and Roy: many surprises, many challenges, many unexpected turns in the road.  But nothing altered everything quite as much as the arrival of Kelsey Shaye!  Through many special experiences that only parents understand, Lisa and Roy found their love for one another growing deep and strong.

Season followed season and year followed year.  It's the good times, the joyful times, the times of laughter and fun that they like to remember.  And for Lisa and Roy, there were many of those.  But it's the difficulties that have tested and proven the strength and depth of Lisa and Roy's love.

Now, June 27, Lisa and Roy are celebrating 10 years of marriage, another milestone in their journey together.  A wedding anniversary is a time for celebration.  There is much to rejoice in.  There is much to be thankful for.  There are many fond memories to treasure.  But a wedding anniversary is a time for reflection as well.  It is a time to remember that a marriage is built on love and trust, and that, without these qualities, it cannot endure.

On this special anniversary, Lisa and Roy were pleased to have friends and family celebrate the day with them.  Some would come to visit; others would call.  Still others would be there in thought alone.  There were many who made this day extra special.

There was Antony and Cleopatra.

 

There was Romeo and Juliet.

 

There was Napoleon and Josephine.

 

And then . . .

It has been more than 10 years since they met.  Roy was bold, fit and handsome, a refined gentleman of noble birth, sterling character and manly demeanor.  Lisa was lovely, gentle and beautiful, a spirited woman of artistic sensitivity and rare intellectual depth.

     What an interesting difference 10 years can make!

Some say it was love at first sight.  When Roy first set eyes on Lisa, he walked boldly up to her and gazed lovingly into her mysteriously beautiful eyes.  "This could be the start of something wonderful," he whispered.

     "I'll let you know," Lisa responded.

Days and weeks and months flew by as their unique love deepened profoundly.  And then at last, on June 27, 1992, Roy and Lisa were married.

     It has been remembered as the wedding of the year, the cultural event of the decade, and as a pretty good free meal.  People came from far and wide to witness the wedding of Lisa and Roy.  The crowd of earnest onlookers was unlike anything ever seen at Brownwood, Texas.

Then came the glorious, long-awaited honeymoon.  It was an agonizing decision for Lisa and Roy.  A remote island paradise in Polynesia?  A chateau in the south of France?  A penthouse suite in New York?

     Nothing seemed quite right, until their extensive search led them to the discovery of the ideal place: in Orlando, Florida.

Lisa and Roy instructed the chauffer to drive to Midland, Texas.  "Our dream home!"  beamed Roy with understandable pride.

     "I didn't know they made dream homes quite like this," Lisa replied.

     "Let me carry you over the threshold, my darling!"  Roy exclaimed as he swept Lisa into his arms.

     "Try not to crack my head on the door frame," pleaded Lisa.

Their life and love went on: month followed month and season followed season.  And then into their lives came their hearts' pride and joy: Kelsey Shaye.    "Oh, how our lives have been enriched!" exclaimed Roy.    "Have you seen the grocery bills lately?"  asked Lisa.

 

Page 27

 

At last, Roy and Lisa celebrated the anniversary of 10 years of marriage.  Again, people traveled from all over the civilized world to join in the celebration.  Dignitaries and celebrities of every sort were on hand.  Everyone joined in the tribute to the special couple.
