September 26, 2025: The Epic Weekend (Day 2)

Some love stories get a sequel.

Today we watched Jess’s parents renew wedding vows for their 50th anniversary. On a dock by Lake Norman, their children, in-laws, and grandchildren surrounded them, each a part of the celebration.

One played guitar. The younger girls read scripture. Another handled the video and special music. As bridesmaid, McKenzie scattered flower petals as she walked in. Then Jess’s brothers escorted their mother to her waiting husband.

I had the honor of saying a few words while the sun slowly faded over the water. We closed with pictures and dinner.

Congrats Mia and Papa! You’re what love looks like.

I can’t wait for the threequel in 2075.
