It’s obviously of a couple at their wedding, but who?
Hard to guess, ain’t it?
Well, here’s a clue–a photo taken last month with the grandkids . . .
If that ain’t enought, I’ll just tell you who it is: It’s Janet and Steve Ray.
Today–Monday–is their 30th anniversary.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, GUYS! MANY HAPPY RETURNS!
GET THE (JOYFUL) STORY!
Author: Jimmy Akin
Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

congratulations!
I couldn’t find an audio version which is fun, but here are the lyrics for a 30 year anniversary.
Lyrics
originally on Appalachian Melody
(chorus)
Happy cornbread anniversary
Happy cornbread anniversary
Happy cornbread anniversary
Here’s to you and yours!
Well, old Homer and Irene…
You’ve been hitched thirty years
So you’re entitled to a round
of thirty cornbread cheers!
Corn Corn Corn Corn [etc]
[insert a little hambone and mouth noise here]
[chorus]
[three part harmony oooohhh’s
I recognized Janet but not Steve. He has changed.
With regard to Steve’s head: No grass grows on a frequently used field. 🙂
As per Monica’s post;
Corn-gratulations, Steve & Janet!
Congratulations to Janet & Steve!
I love listening to Steve when he is a guest on Catholic Answers LIVE!
Cornbread anniversary? Can you have one of those north of the Mason-Dixon line?
Anyway, Happy Anniversary, and you are one brave couple, allowing people to see pictures of yourself with Seventies hair. You couldn’t pay me to do it 😉
Steve is AWESOME!
One of the kindest and great Catholic Apologists we have today!
CONGRATZ to both JANET & STEVE!
Is that Peter Brady from the Brady Bunch getting married!??!
Haha Congrats Steve, Keep defending the Church!!!

(PS: I’ve had the pleasure of working with Steve on a couple of his projects, and I’ve coem to see that Janet’s contributions to hsi work are amazing. A true team effort, theirs.)
Congratulations Steve and Janet!
I’ve always thought that Steve looks like Jason Alexander when he was on Seinfled. No offense Steve! 🙂
That should have been Seinfeld! 😮

Hmm. I didn’t know Steve Ray used to wear a wig.

What lovely pictures! I would have never guessed who it was…the hair threw me off.
Steve & Janet’s marriage has definately been *fruitful*. All those grandkids look like they are simply bursting at the seams with life! And then some!
