Southern Weddings

As you may remember from Lara’s speech at the V6 launch party, one of the biggest reasons we love marriage is because strong marriages create strong families. Strong families create strong children, and that changes generations. When I read about Peggy’s favorite memory from her and Jim’s wedding day, over 30 years ago, I couldn’t help but think of that sentiment. One beautiful marriage can have such a ripple effect on the community around it, and I can only imagine that how many people Peggy and Jim have inspired!
