EMERALD WEDDING
Andry, third in a family of eight,
Met Tiana, gentle soul, guided by fate.
She was once his patient, he showed her care,
And soon enough, love bloomed in the air.
Through storms and trials, against all tide,
They built a bond, strong and dignified.
Tiana, the third of her sibling four,
Met Andry behind a hospital door.
In that quiet place, two hearts aligned,
And a love grew deep, tender and kind.
Despite the doubts, the twists, the bends,
They journeyed forward, as true friends.
October 27th, 1977, their vows began,
With a civil union, hand in hand.
Family and friends stood close that day,
As love prepared to light the way.
Far from misery, sorrow, and strife,
They stepped together into married life.
Then on December 10th the same year,
They sealed their bond before God, sincere.
No need for a feast, nor grandeur immense,
Their hearts were full of reverence.
With blessings from loved ones, warm and true,
They pledged a life for just us two.
The early years were far from light,
They braved each trial, each restless night.
Time marched on with joy and pain,
Yet love endured, through loss and gain.
Island life was tough and raw,
But they stayed strong, bound by law.
Then came the children, the dreams, the days,
A home was built in steadfast ways.
Not on sand, but on a rock so sure,
With faith in God, they could endure.
Each effort made, each seed they'd sow,
Brought blessings more than they could know.
Forty years, with struggle, yes, and tears,
But far more love, and joyful years.
Health and peace, with prosperity’s light,
Carried them gently, day and night.
To those who came in ‘77, we give our thanks,
Some still with us, some in Heaven’s ranks.
We recall each face, with love sincere,
Like an old tape, we hold them near.
Thanks to all here, who’ve made this day,
A time of warmth in every way.
And above all, thanks to God above,
Who filled our lives with endless love.
He never left, not even once,
His grace our strength, our constant response.
May His name and glory shine,
Forever faithful, forever divine.
See you again in ten more years,
If God so wills, with fewer tears.
For our golden day, hand in hand,
Still standing strong, still love’s command.
