I love when you can tell how smitten a couple is with one another just by the way they look at each other, or the way they light up when they’re together. Now I haven’t met today’s Sweet Tea Sunday couple, Angela and Henry, in person, but from the way Angela talks about her beau of almost 32 years and the picture our Blue Ribbon Vendor, Rachel May, snapped of them for V6, I can only imagine how much their love must radiate in person!
Wedding date: September 25, 1982
Children? Two children and one granddaughter
When did you know he was the one? I knew Henry was the man I would marry when I was in the ninth grade. We are high school sweethearts.
What is your favorite wedding memory? When the doors of the church opened, I immediately locked eyes with Henry. I will never forget how I felt looking into his eyes as I walked down the aisle.
What is the secret to your marriage? Always keeping God first.
What’s your favorite thing to do together? Although we enjoy our one-on-one time and date nights, we get the most joy spending time with our granddaughter. She has been the best gift and we live for her weekend visits.
What is your favorite memory related to Southern food or family? Ever since we were teenagers, we’ve spent Thanksgiving celebrating with both of our families. We are blessed that our families are very close and we are able to fellowship with both sides during the holidays.
What is your best marriage advice? Remember that you’re a team and work together as one. Live each day like it’s your last, and love hard!
They look so peaceful and in love with each other, great photo.
