Saturday, August 27, 2011 was a special day for all of us here in Peru, especially Bro. and Sis. Nix, as it was the day in which we celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. The staff and church family at ICAP quite successfully pulled off a surprise celebration at the central church in San Felipe.
At approximately 5:00pm, a hired limousine pulled up to the Nixes' home, escorted them in, and drove them and their professional photographer (not me) to various locations throughout the city of Lima. Bro. Jose and I followed close behind in our own limo, the Corolla. We stopped at a beautiful park for about an hour for a photo shoot. I also got in a few shots with my own camera. However and unfortunately, my camera is not exactly "pro quality", therefore several pictures turned out less than great. But Sis. Nix thinks they're good, so I don't feel so bad in posting them.
As the limousine pulled into the church parking lot at 7:30pm and Bro. and Sis. Nix stepped out of the car, they were greeted with a red carpet and a long line of cheering preachers and wives and church family. We had a beautiful service honoring the Nixes, and afterwards a delicious dinner along with many words of love and appreciation by various pastors and saints, as well as a hilarious skit about how the Nixes first met and fell in love, put on by some of our own young people.

I loved the pictures. My family (Dad especially) has crossed paths with many in the Nix family over the course of several years. Recently we saw Bro. Kevin Nix (if I remember correctly) at Bro. Townsleys. I know that I will speak for all of us when I say congratulations on 50 years of marrriage. They are a shining example that marriage can indeed last for a lifetime.
Awesome photos. Thanks for sharing Jarron! Send our love to Dad and Mom Nix!
