Guilliams anniversary
Steve and Wilma Guilliams
25 Years
Five and twenty years have passed,
Two hearts joined a love to last
Daddy bowed upon one knee
and said to Mommy, ``Marry Me''
Mommy said to him this day,
my love you have, my hand you may
Pastor then said to them both
now join hands and take this oath
Mommy and Daddy's love so true, was
sealed this day with the words ``I do''
Perhaps the most fortunate person is
me. . .
I have you both and now we're three!!
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad
I Love You!
