IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU GET MARRIED
MARRIED FOR OVER 48 YEARS 🤎

Cleveland couple Kenneth & Sheila Gibson had their wedding on July 23rd, 1977 at the McDonald’s Kenneth managed on Lee Road. Kenneth was 20, and Sheila was 18, and they had recently celebrated the birth of their first child.

In the late 70s, McDonald’s weren’t on every street corner the way they are today – at the time, there were less than 5,000 worldwide. Kenneth asked if he could hold their marriage ceremony at the fast-food stop, and they agreed…as long as they wouldn’t have to close during the wedding.

That’s how it came to be that amid customers ordering Big Macs and fry baskets being dropped inside, the Gibsons exchanged vows in an outdoor ceremony, and took some of the best wedding photos. White and powder-blue suits, afros and a burgundy Cadillac let you know exactly what year you’re in.

And yes, Kenneth and Sheila are still married. They have been blessed with 4 children and several grandkids.

This quote is a cornerstone of my philosophy, and there's so much more in my latest book "Created To Win, Conditioned To Lose" 👉🏾 www.created2winbook.com.

In our journey to overcome challenges and reach new heights, it's crucial that we don't neglect the most important person in that journey—ourselves.

Here's a simple strategy to ensure you're giving yourself the care you deserve: Schedule 'me time' just like any other critical appointment in your calendar. Whether it's a quiet morning coffee, a midday walk, or an evening meditation, make sure this time is non-negotiable.
