We Renewed our Marriage Vows in Africa!

Sunday Brunch & Jazz @ Ten Bompas
Today was the 27th Sunday in the Roman Catholic Liturgical Year, the opening of the Synod on the Family in the Vatican, and the day the Church has chosen to recognize the sanctity of the Sacrament of Marriage.

And so, as part of our regular Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes in Rivonia this morning, Father Peter called up couples in order for us to renew our Marriage vows before the congregation. Vince and I had just celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary a month ago in Tanzania - a real milestone! - so we thought it appropriate to participate in the Marriage renewal ceremony along with four other couples at our local parish.

 



my dessert: crystallised flowers, jasmine cream, hibiscus syrup, raspberry
Afterwards we met up with some friends at a restaurant for Sunday lunch and jazz. We had a jazz band too at our wedding reception in New York 35 years ago!

Darn, we should have brought a wedding cake!








Spreading the love all around the world!

Thank you Gardiol for my South African beaded bride pin! It sure came in handy.
