Gerald & Rosie: 80 years young

A little less than a year ago we had the privilege of meeting two of the most beautiful people in the world. Gerald and Rosie Cole have been married for over 57 years and are just as committed and in love as they were the day they said, "I do."

When Justin and I went to Louisiana to meet them and tell their story, we had been married only a few months. We didn't realize that we would be meeting two people who would challenge us in every aspect of our lives, and would give us a picture of what we want our marriage to look like as we grow older. We were honored to learn from these amazing individuals and cannot thank them enough for sharing their lives and hearts with us for a weekend.

We started thinking about Gerald and Rosie recently and wanted to post their story in time for the Christmas holiday. Rosie's rendition of "O Holy Night" is one of the best around, and the fact that their whole lives have been centered around the true meaning of Christmas, made now seem like the ideal time to share these two precious people with you.

Thank you Gerald and Rosie for who you are to each other, and who you are to us.
Merry Christmas!
