A Celebration of One Soul


John & Sherry
 What a Blessing - It was an honor to be invited to attend a truly special 40th Wedding Anniversary Party for John (Big John) & Sherry (The Shiz) Graves.  John & Sherry we could all learn so much about devotion to our partners from the two of you.  A very special and warm Happy Anniversary goes out to you both.

What is marriage anyway?  Well marriage is the union of two souls becoming as one.  It is our promise to each other as husband and wife to be here for each other through all trials, tribulations, good times and bad.  John & Sherry have certainly been there for each other, their children, grandchildren, and family.  They are a true inspiration to all of us that have the pleasure of being their family & friends.  They are completely committed & devoted to each other and it shows to all of those around them.

It’s not every day that you get the opportunity to be friends with people who have been together for 40 years and were high school sweethearts.  I hope that the rest of their lives together are filled with as much love, devotion, commitment, joy and peace that they have had the past 40 years.  These two special people enjoy some of the same hobbies and as everyone who knows them knows they are avid Harley Davidson Motorcycle Riders and we love them both dearly, so glad God brought them and many other into our lives.

John & Sherry have a big family and we had the pleasure of meeting them, they are as sweet and caring as the both of them.  This family is very loving and accepted us and several others that aren’t family with open loving arms and treated us like one of their own.  The food that was served was great complete with desert and beverages (and adult beverages).

I wanted to thank Todd and his wife for allowing us to attend this special day, it was truly a humbling experience and hope that as I plug along in my own marriage that I can continue to be as happy and in love as John & Sherry for many years to come.  Below are some pictures from their celebration of one of soul:
