We're Renewing Our Wedding Vows!

In De Quincy, LA, in the late summer of 1983, our love story began as two teenage neighbors who became high school sweethearts. We had no clue what our love would become. The movie Purple Rain had just premiered. We experienced life together and faced many highs and some lows in our relationship. Today, we often think about the homecomings, football games, basketball game, proms, dances, graduations, college days, trips and experiences that shaped our lives. We were blessed to have memories during our early journey. There were some memories that were not so funny then, but we laugh about now! Music was an important part of our relationship…our favorites included Prince, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Phil Collins, Run DMC, Culture Club, Chicago, Sting and Bob Marley. As circumstances would have it, we split up, went our separate ways and established successful lives. Dan was blessed with four wonderful and bright children (Dylan, Danielle, Alex, and Jay). Later Tandra was blessed with one handsome and intelligent son (Andrew). Dan is also blessed with a beautiful daughter-in-law (Shayna) and three grandchildren (Dylan, David and Eliana). Family is essential to all that we do and are! Fast forward 3 decades. We reconnected our relationship as friends during a difficult period. After many long phone conversations that lasted late into the night, we realized that there was still a flame! So...after a 30 plus year intermission, we rekindled our love! It was clear that we are soul mates destined to spend the rest of our lives together. Even though we still have our core essence, we continue to enjoy learning how our experiences have shaped our lives. We grow, understand, challenge and love each other more every day. As we say, we love each other to infinity to the infinity power multiplied by an Avogadro’s number! We are the perfect combination of "dusty" and "bling bling"…fairy dust! The best is yet to come! We hope you can share this special occasion with us!
