Hey Fans!
Most of our films are about the start of marriage - a couple’s journey that have led them to making a commitment to spend the rest of their lives together. But today’s film takes us to a different part of the story. Instead of the beginning of marriage, we get to flash forward to forty years in the future and celebrate all that a life together as husband and wife creates. Give it a watch below!
WATCH: I've Loved You for 40 Years / Zachari Dunes Mandalay Beach Oxnard Wedding Anniversary
Tina and Carl first met at Builders Emporium in the early 80s. Back then, it was a rare thing to find someone from the UK living in California, and that quickly created a meaningful connection between them. They spent time working together on different projects, feeling out each other’s personalities, and building a relaxed atmosphere.
In Carl’s words, he and Tina are “like chalk and cheese”: Tina’s family grew up middle class, while Carl was from a subdued upper-class background. Tina had the typical school experience, while Carl was sent off to boarding school. Rather than separate them, those differences made their lives richer and more beautiful. It wasn’t long before Carl proposed and they enjoyed a lovely wedding onboard the Queen Mary in 1983.
Their family quickly grew from there as they raised three boys, spending time playing sports and traveling to exotic places like Mexico and Hawaii. In the decades that followed, their family has expanded to six grandchildren and even a great-grandchild, who they love to dote on and play with.
Now these two get to celebrate forty years of love and life spent together at the beautiful Zachari Dunes on Mandalay Beach in Oxnard, CA. Enjoy following them on this 70s-infused party filled with dancing, sand, and Super8 goodness.
