My husband and I were married in front of the Peace Fountain on the UA campus on a perfectly beautiful Saturday afternoon in October, 2009. But, to make it even better, we were honored to have Justice Candy Clark to officiate. These were some of her words: Will you love each other, comfort each other, share with each other, and together work to build a stronger and more loving relationship with each other? It is my sincere hope your love for one another will continue to grow stronger with each passing day. May that love help you enjoy the good times and survive the challenges we will all face. Through that love, may your relationship continue to grow, making your marriage strong and secure.
Ms. Clark, thank you for everything you did for us, the community of Fayetteville and our beloved animal friends. Thank you for standing as a strong role model for those trying to find their way. Our hearts are broken and you will be terribly missed. But, oh how fortunate for us all that we had you with us and for us for as long as we did. You were perfectly beautiful.
