 Andrew & Eric Sherrill on Boston's Harborway, March 2013 Our grandson Andrew Sherrill and his wife Erin kept up a tradition when they came to visit us this month. Since their marriage at “Pumpkin Ridge Farm” in Nonesuch, Kentucky, in 2010, they’ve renewed their vows each year in a different state. In 2011, they recited them on the dunes in Saugatuck, Michigan; in 2012 atop the enormous Vulcan statue in Birmingham, Alabama. This year they chose the Boston waterfront, beside the huge “Untitled Landscape” by David v on Schlegell.  The wording of the vows, drawn in part from poems read at the wedding, are the same each year: For the rest of my life, I promise to love you, learn from you, and support your essential role in this world I promise to be tied to you as your companion for life I promise to maintain my passion for you and our adventures I promise to treat our marriage as a living tree that wants to grow and give I promise to always remember how important you are. I love you. Two witnesses must be present to make it official.
Andrew and Erin live in DeKalb, Illinois, where Erin is taking a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and Andrew’s getting a PHD in Clinical Psychology, both at Northern Illinois State University.
