I thought of a million things I could write about for this post. But I’ve decided to only share one thing.
There is no other person that has filled my life with more love and laughter than Vitaliy Prokopets. Today is our four year anniversary and I can honestly say that our love is stronger and our laughing is hardier than ever before. And for that reason, we are here to celebrate!
I’m closing up my laptop because I don’t want to spend another minute away from the love of my life. Celebrate with us by leaving a comment! Tell us your best marriage advice or a great love story. Whatever you think will make us smile — because you know we love to do just that.
Smile.

I remember sitting in the cafeteria with you at Moody while you were crying because you were so amazed at how much Jesus and Vitaliy loved you. I loved that moment
Love You Both…Happy Anniversary!
I remember the very first time I met Vitaliy and new exactly why you fell in love with him. You two are perfect for each other. Continue to laugh and love and have many more joyous years together. And don’t forget I am patiently waiting for grandbabies
Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary, Vitaliy and Candace! Have a wonderful time celebrating one another. May the Lord continue to bless your marriage with His very best.
Happy Anniversary you two! Here’s to many more!!!
My story’s a little different than your moms. I remember the first time I met Vitaliy and we were walking down the street in Chicago behind V and you were telling me how cute his butt was!
You two are a match made in heaven! Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary! Here’s to many more years of love and laughter:)
Happy anniversary!
To be sure, my husband has not yet viewed this post, because if he had he would not have been able to contain his praise of your literary selection! I can only imagine you are dying laughing at V’s impersonation of a southern accent!
Happy Anniversary, Lovebirds!
What you share about your relatioship gives me so much hope and excitement for my future. I hope I’m blessed with what you two have. Never stop going on dates to keep that spark. I love to hear how that is a priority for you. Congrats on 4 years of an amazing journey so far!
Adorable picture of you both, and Happy Anniversary! May you both celebrate the love you have for each other today, and every single day to come. Hope you enjoy your day!
Happy Anniversary!!!
Happy Anniversary you two!
Ah, so many memories of the two of you at Moody.
And nothing celebrates the love of marriage like the southern grotesque of Flannery O’Connor.
I knew that when I saw you and Vitaliy dressed up and BOWLING in those AWESOME thrift store outfits, and you guys were looking SOOOO good ( I mean, that’s why everyone was staring, right?).…..I knew you HAD to marry that man.
Can we just talk about how amazing you two are together!???
LOVE YOU BOTH SOOOOO MUCH!

Can’t wait til we have another “community anniversary” with you guys!
