Love Story

My first cousin got married right out of high school to a boy her parents disapproved of. Due to parental pressure the marriage was shortly dissolved. The boy moved away and my cousin went on with her life, graduating from college, getting married, subsequently divorced, buying a home and retiring. Out of the blue, about a year ago she heard from her long lost love. He was in the area and they met for a meal. The embers were rekindled, but my cousin let him get away a second time. After mulling it over for a while, she gave him a call as he was en route to another destination. He came back and they have been together ever since. They seem made for each other and are both obviously very much in love. They stopped by Monday, March 5th, we went to the Court House and got a Marriage License, then off to my church where I performed their marriage ceremony. True love won out in the end after some 40 years! This story doesn't have much to do with my "boys" and this is the "Sheltie-Mom" blog, but I can say that they both adored my new cousin-in-law and he was warmly welcomed into the family. They didn't attend the wedding.
