First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage.

And here we are SEVENTY FIVE years later! That is a lifetime of loving someone and growing with them and supporting them and liking them (most of the time) and everything in between.
Gene and Ruth Stonebarger were celebrated, surrounded by their many family members on a warm day in July. Their long marriage has grown a family by four generations and is currently holding strong at twenty six great grandchildren.
Ruth, at one moment in all the chaos of organizing the family members for a group shot, wiped at her eyes with her tissue. She told me not to worry, that those were happy tears. Definite tears of joy for being able to all get together. She was in awe of all of her beautiful family members and was not taking any second of their day together for granted.
Lots of smiles, lots of food, lots of little Stonebargers running around. I imagine this is what a happily ever after looks like. <3
Thank you to all of the Stonebarger family for inviting me to capture your celebration of these two youngsters who started it all!
Four generations later and the fun continues...
