Our 30th Wedding Anniversary Party

Dan and Tracy recently celebrated their 30th Wedding Anniversary. Their daughters, Tasha and Kendyl , hosted a Texas-sized BBQ dinner and dance on November 22, 2008 at The Grand Palace in Spring, Texas. About 120 close friends and family members attended. Guests of honor included Tracy’s two sisters – her Matron of Honor, Kelli and her daughter, Shannon (both from North Carolina) , and Whitni (from West Virginia). A highlight of the evening was a slideshow of their early years of courtship and marriage in West Virginia.

On October 14, 1978, Dan and Tracy were married at Wesley United Methodist Church in Morgantown, WV and the wedding was followed by a very small reception at their home afterwards. For their 30th, Dan did not want to renew their wedding vows as he has stated he has not worn out the old ones yet. (That applies to new wedding rings as well - the couple are still wearing their original gold bands.) So, he elected to have a party with alot more folks this time... and it was just that.. good food, great cake, sharing stories among friends and family, and dancing.


We hope everyone had as much fun as we did!


Here are some pictures to enjoy:
