'Sell-ebrating 30 years of Marriage'

Sell-ebrating 30 years of  Marriage! 
Why the mis-spelling of celebration? For those who don't know~my maiden name is Sell~
and becoming~ Mrs. David Witz on August 23, 1980 gave me,
Wendy Sell, the ultimate reason to celebrate, thus 'Sell'-ebrate!

Over the 30 years...
   Multiple joys
   Two girls & two boys
   Much laughter
   Many tears (happy and sad)
   Memories made together...
          shared together...
          remembered together
   Loving each other--
     through thick (weight fluctuations! l.o.l.) and thin
   Trust, Honesty & Communication--
     the 3 vows we made to each other when we began to date
     and clung to...during our 30 years as each other's mate
   We love each other, yes..
      however, we are also 'in love' with one another
      and that is marriage at its best!
   I could ascribe to clichés of, 'He completes me',
     or 'He's the wind beneath my wings' or even that
     he is my 'True Love' (think movie, Princess Bride),
   as well as, additional (personal) truths of~ that he loves me so well,
     so completely and (most of the time) unconditionally!
Yet, suffice it to say~concerning my 30 years
     as David's Wif     (no 'e'--inside joke)
     I would say,  I Do,  all over again
     no buts, ands, or if

*David~
Thanks for keeping the 'Happy' in each day of every month of each year's Anniversary!
And by the way,~ what are you doing the next 30 years?
You won't have to ask me three times again....the answer is YES!

Words of Witz-dom: 
'My beloved is mine, and I am his' (Song of Songs  2:16a) (The Bible--King James Version)

  1. How lovely to hear of a love that has withstood the tests of time! Congratulations to you both on your 30 years together, and I sincerely wish you 30+ more. Your wedding photo is lovely, by the way, and proves that you have barely aged since your wedding day..., another testament to true love. Maybe I'll get to meet your hubby next time I'm in Charlotte. I would enjoy that!
