Reflecting on our years of marriage and celebrating the Princess and her Prince on the day they said,
We do, Love each other, With all our hearts.
Creating the ‘Possible Dream’

My Mother Ruth took this picture in our Stewart family home
709 Connaught Street Victoria, B.C.
My last look at the twenty-one year old maiden, Victoria Princess Crown as part of my wedding veil.

Pondering the yellow roses from my Prince Maarten.
 He sent me yellow roses after our first date.
Five months later we would be married.

On my Father Bill’s arm as we arrived at Centennial United Church 6:45 p.m.

who made my wedding headdress for me.

Held in a Circle of Love as the wedding guests sing to us.
The joy and celebration of family and friends has continued throughout our
years of marriage
We feel blessed and grateful.

There is a Scottish Toast that I have personalized
‘Here is to us
And dam few of us
All the rest are dead
But looking on us lovingly’
