The Schoeneckes - Marion Illinois Photographer

Introducing one of my fabulous second shooters!!! :D  Dave & Gale are two people that I admire and whole heartedly respect for their love of one another, love for their family and love for their faith.

32 years of marriage and 5 children later and these two are still crazy about one another!!! :D

 

Wedding Date:  August 8, 1981

How did you meet?  I had just graduated from college but was planning to continue with a Master's Degree.  I had just come to stay with my brother and his wife for the summer.  Steve was the Associate Pastor at a church near Chicago.  Dave & I met at a church fellowship after a service.  Dave drove me home and we talked in the car until 2 or 3 in the morning.  I guess you would say that that was our first date!!!Have any advice for newly married couples?  Put Jesus Christ first in your life and in your priorities.  Let go of your expectations.  Don't try to change your mate.  Divorce is NOT an option.  Don't joke about it or make idle threats.    -- Also there is a really good book that is WELL WORTH reading!!!  It is entitled, One of Us Must Be Crazy and I'm Pretty Sure It's You, written by Tim and Joy Downs.  I think that EVERY couple should read it!
