Diamond Wedding: Mutti and Vati

I am backtracking a bit, but I wanted to post a few photos from Namibia.  Our reason for traveling there was to celebrate the 60th wedding anniversary of Mutti and Vati, Rich's grandparents.  The entire Brock family watched as they renewed their vows in the same church they were married in 60 years ago.  It was truly beautiful and a testimony that, "Till death do us part," may be a difficult vow to keep, but is, in fact (and contrary to what culture would tell us), obtainable.  We were so blessed to be a part of the Diamond Wedding celebration.  Congratulations and well done to Mutti and Vati! 

The Sand Dunes.  No, unlike my husband, I was not brave enough to slide down nor strong enough to walk back up.

The church was decorated with branches and flowers from Mutti's garden.

It was such a beautiful church.

We had a lunch reception back at Mutti's and Vati's home of more than 50 years.

We also celebrated with a desert braai.  Such fun!
