Dennis and Vicki Emerson Mosier of Woolwich celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on October 8 with a surprise lawn party on August 10 at the home of their oldest daughter and husband, Heidi and Michael Thiboutot of Wiscasset. Co-hosting were daughter and husband, Mariah and Matt Child of Brunswick, and son, Dennis Mosier Jr. of Woolwich.

Wedding albums full of photos and dress clothing were secretly taken from the Mosiers’ home for the event. A surprise renewal of vows was performed by Pastor Wally Staples, who officiated the wedding 25 years ago. The bride was escorted to the altar by her father.

Unable to attend was best man Tony Mosier and groomsman Bobby Emerson.

Music was provided by family friend Todd Stilphen. The bride’s bouquet was made by Carol Nibarger and the wedding cake was made by Heidi Thiboutot.
