after a lovely meal...
our waiter presented a tray of decadent chocolate covered strawberries.
25 chocolate covered strawberries.
papa then told us the berries represented...
20 for each year of their wonderful marriage.
3 for the three my mom ate on their first date.
{when he asked her if she wanted dessert on that night...she said "no".
then, proceeded to eat all of them.}
1 for her.
1 for him.
oh that man! i was crying.
so sweet. and romantic.
a man after my own heart.
i am so blessed to have these amazing people in my life.
and even more blessed i can call them my parents.
thank you, papa, for asking her to marry you.
thank you, mom, for saying yes.
i love you both.
