Roberta M. and John C. Helming of Ledyard renewed their wedding vows on their 17th wedding anniversary on Friday, Aug. 21, 2009. The ceremony was held along the beautiful river walk in Providence, R.I. The ceremony which was officiated by LisaAnn Donegan, an interfaith minister from Massachusetts, was performed outdoors overlooking the river. The couple exchanged vows which they co-wrote with their minister.
After their beautiful ceremony, the couple went on a romantic gondola ride on the river. As they were on their gondola ride, a mandolin player performed music behind where they were seated, a true Venice experience.
The couple enjoyed a second honeymoon camping on Cape Cod, where they biked and did "Cape Cod" things.
This year was significant for Roberta and John to renew their vows as they were first married on a Friday. Also, in adding one and seven to equal eight, then turning the numeral eight on its side it approximates the infinity symbol and represents their forever commitment to each other. As precious as their initial wedding vows were, it was in their hearts to co-write their own vows, which spoke to who they are as a couple.
