I love it. I'm pretty sure I can guess who your are by the way your write. If I'm right, you've had more than you share of tragedy, but still you know how to have some really happy moments. This a very upbeat story for a really romantic person.

I think the traditional vows of a man and a woman are a sacred trust as witness before their loved ones is far, far more that "just a piece of paper." If there are children involved knowing the vows are made this way, are confirmation that they are so important, we don't get married for our own sakes, but as a witness to the world, so that these longstanding traditions are important. The nations are falling apart because of insincere promises. Beautifully written, blessings and good luck, blessings Roy

    Thank you so much for all your kind words and the blessings. I too believe that the vows we shared meant so much more than the paper we signed. Have a great day!

Your very personal touching story shows the extremes of emotional experience in a life, from tragic circumstances to utter joy, the adjustments you can make to accommodate other people's wishes, all tied together with the enduring power of love. I doubt that Pharrell Williams upbeat song will have ever been played at a more appropriate situation.
Your writing style captured the details, your values, the mood and the emotion perfectly.
If we all had an attitude like yours and treated every day as if it might be our last we would be more appreciative of others, more accommodating, and more capable of finding joy in situations.

Truly, a most touching and nostalgic blend of simple, real love,
interwoven in a no less 'Prince & Princess" kind of wedded bliss;
despite all the sorrows and griefs of loss of loved ones beforehand.
The simple candor and creative imagery of the story unfolding,
it's precious glory of humbled, but no less heart and soul sealed
effect carries on through the senses ever so pleasurably, admiringly
and inspiringly! Thanks for sharing, a most memorable read!
Congrats to you both! Best wishes in contest!
Best wishes, Ronni

Getting married after a twenty year long love affair is really something. I suppose it has more chance of success than after a short courtship, although in this particular case it seems that it might be unhappily dogged by ill-health. I hope I am wrong and that love wins out.

A neat story. The moral might be: "A rite is more than a ceremony which is more than a paper."

The story stays on point. The pace is good. The words are conversational and warm. It all adds up to a moving story.

No suggestions. Thanks for sharing and keep writing.

This The time of my life: writing prompt entry speaks how easy, convenient, simply you do live life maintaining human values and love in each course of living as deal; for life becomes complex in lip service, tall talk, imperfection and avoidance of love and human values; well said, well done; thanks for sharing this.
