Went to a surprise dinner last night...
for my 35th wedding anniversary. My sons and daughter-in-law surprised my wife and I. It was a beautiful evening in Waikiki. I wasn't too surprised when I saw my photographer friend as I see him all over Honolulu with his camera in hand. Then I thought, "Oh, my sons wanted to take a family picture," which is why he was there ~ to take a family picture. But I was wrong! Then creeping up behind me is a pastor friend of mine. At this point I'm wondering, "Whats' going on?" My sons planned to have my wife and I renew our vows (since they weren't there the first time we got married ;-D) and to have photos taken. I am not one to be surprised easily but I was totally surprised. They did a good job keeping things under wraps. They even thought of a bouquet for my wife. They had all the little details done. I never thought my sons had 'instincts' like these to pull off the entire evening. I am a very blessed father and husband ~ or ~ are they blessed? LOL
We also took a shot of what we were wearing.
Aloha,
Bob

Fantastic! I was moved and almost moist around the eyes
Bob, Aloha! Congratulations. I almost thought there was a PuristS GTG I missed......I did! Regards MTF ...
Thanks, MTF.
If tears were to fall at least all are at least 100M water resistant. It looks like I missed a GTG. LOL And what a GTG you had! Aloha, Bob
LOL Yes, that's why I said "if'...
because man-ly men only shed a tear when their watch breaks. LOL Aloha, Bob
Thanks, maverick1.
Yes, ALL in the family and my son with the PuristSpro ABR will get my Daytona. Aloha, Bob
That is such a caring, lovely thing!
Your sons have done for you And I guess we can congratulate you on getting married (again), too
Yes, it was a huge surprise for me and my wife.
Our sons are 'manly' men, not the most sentimental type. But they really pulled this one off. Aloha, Bob
Bob, I always wonder:
How is it possible that you have been married for 35 years? Patti does not look one day older than 35 and you are a fantastic representative of your actual age. Congrats to both of you and hugs from all of my family. You both are lucky and blessed but you...
LOL Yes, Patti looks younger than me. People always tell her that she looks young.
But they NEVER say that about me. LOL We are both old men with younger wives. Aloha, Bob
I'm not old. I'm much younger than you.
But true, Patti and Tarja could be sisters. Anyhow, you have the mind of a young man and that's the main thing. Let's "bail-baila" a bit in Honolulu soon. Sharply in one month we will land and believe me Bob, we are really looking forward coming back to t...
Anne needs your pastoral help...
She's a naughty package! Perhaps you can consult. Best, Kari
You are totally mistaken.
I distribute only positive genes. Now I feel very very happy. The oldest daughter applied to four UK universities and got into all. She'll start in Birmingham next September. The second, 19 years old Sonja who is studying economics, changed her plans and ...
Congratulations on your daughters' quests.
You'll need a doctor in the family to care for your old bones. Aloha. Bob
If my daughter would have an opportunity,
she would probably poison me. I used to be pretty tough during her teenage years. She wanted to get freedom I did not give that easily, Best, Kari
Congratulations Bob and your wife! Wow! What a beautiful gesture of your young family!!...
... these are things which show the love you gave them and the love they return to you and your wife! That will be an unforgetable night and I wish you and all the best for you and your beautiful familiy!! Great picture by the way!! Cheers! Abel.
Thank you for your kind words, Abel.
It truly was an unforgettable event. I get the most joy just spending time with my family. My sons are all big boys, over 6 feet, (not me, LOL) And we still have a lot of fun together playing basketball, having dinner at the house or playing board games. ...
My pleasure Bob! How nice to know about your big boys and how much you enjoy their ...
... company. I can well understand you as I am also blessed by my children and grandchildren and enjoy them so much. I wish you and your beloved ones all the best! Aloha! Abel.
I am blessed but no grandchildren yet, so instead...
I've got two pet chickens. LOL True! Aloha. Bob
Congratulations for this milestone!
You are blessed and bless you for sharing this story. PS Cool pic!
