Kevin called me about a month ago to find out if I could perform a renewal of vows ceremony at his parents' surprise 50th Anniversary celebration that he and his brother, Joe, were planning on July 18th. I was happy to be a part of this happy occasion! So, I wrote a ceremony for his parents, Hexis and Jose, and got Kevin's approval that it was just what they wanted.
When I arrived for the celebration, I could tell that a lot of preparation had gone into this event. There was a big tent with tables and chairs in the backyard and this gorgeous cake inside. I don't know who made it but it was lovely.
There was also a collection of photos of Hexis and Jose on their wedding day in 1959 (they had quite a large formal wedding), Kevin and Joe's weddings, and their grandchildren.
This is Brianna, flower girl, and Brian, the ring bearer and also the escort for his grandmother! Can you see how excited they are?
We were ready to begin so I took my place under the arch with Jose as everyone gathered around. Then the music played while the two flower girls came in.
They came in so slowly that their fathers--Joe and Kevin--were motioning them to hurry up!
Katelyn liked to inspect each petal before she dropped it on the ground!
Then Brian escorted in his grandmother, Hexis. He was so cute and was proud to have this big honor.
Kevin told me after the ceremony that his parents were so excited and thrilled. I could tell they were in a little shock during the ceremony but they did fine. They are a solid couple whose marriage has stood the test of time--50 years!
Joe and Kevin got special rings for their parents to exchange during the ceremony!
Congratulations, Hexis and Jose! What a great tribute to you from your sons and all the family members and friends who were gathered around to witness and celebrate this wonderful milestone in your lives!
