Fifty Years of Love – Jack and Dorothy’s Anniversary

May 24, 2022 by Jack Emmott 2 Comments

When Did I Know I Loved You?

I wrote a new song for Dorothy to finally answer her question after 50 years of marriage.
“Jack, when did you know you loved me?”
It was not love at first sight for me. After a few months, I fell in love with her.  After all the years, I am still falling more deeply in love with you, Dorothy, every single day.

Thanks to Brian Carrion for singing the song so beautifully.  Thanks to Paul Burks for creating the amazing graphics which accompanied my tribute to Dorothy and my love for her.

What Is Love?

A year ago I wrote the song. “What Is Love.”
Last night as part of my tribute to Dorothy on our 50th Wedding Anniversary I shared this song with her at Chandelier Grove.  Because of my bride Dorothy I know what love is.  I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks to Paul Burks from Austin for creating the video and the special effects.  Thanks to Stephanie Jones and Brian Carrion for singing the song.  Thanks to my intellectual property lawyer Yocel Alonzo for copyrighting the song.
Thanks to God for Love.

The Celebration

At Chandelier Grove owned by my dear Brother Russell and wife Stacey, we had a magical evening with friends and family to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. 

The Queen Barn was beautifully adorned with flowers and greenery by Mark Ruisinger of Mark Anthony’s.  The delicious food was provided by Jennifer Trevino of Behind the Bash.  We owe so much to Stacey and Russell for opening their hearts and their venue for our once-in-a-wife-time celebration.

Before the event, our family posed for these photos. Our lovely and talented niece McKenzie Emmott took the photos. Thanks, McKenzie for making sure we had these photographs to treasure forever.

What a weekend.  What a life.  What a love story with my bride Dorothy.

 
Dorothy and I wish to thank everyone who sent us their well wishes on our 50th Wedding Anniversary.  This evening Father Bob Wismer blessed our marriage in a small family service in the Chapel of St. Clare.  Father Bob did a wonderful and memorable service for us.

During the service, our Grandson John V (the animated 6-year-old behind me) asked Father Bob if we were having chocolate cake!
 
Blessings, Jack

My Anniversary Prayer May 20, 2017

May 20, 2017 by Jack Emmott 4 Comments

Dear Lord – Your Son’s first miracle was transforming water into wine at a Wedding at Cana. You sending Dorothy to me was and is nothing short of a true miracle in my life. She is the best part of me. How blessed I am to share my earthly journey with her. For in her touch, her embrace, her words, her smile and her glance I see You and Your everlasting love for me every day. Before our marriage we sat together in the glow of Your grace with Grandmother Emmott. At age 23 I had the trust in You to propose to her on Uncle Army’s pier on a tributary of Lake Houston. Praise to You, Lord, for our marriage 45 years ago today. For in that sacrament, all of the broken pieces of my body from polio were healed by Your love through her, my bride, my angel and my best friend. Amen

If you like this prayer, please share.
