ASHEVILLE, N.C., April 7 /Christian Newswire/ -- Jay and Laura Laffoon know what a marriage celebration looks like. After meeting on a blind date in 1984, Jay and Laura were engaged only ten days later. For the past 15 years, their Celebrate Your Marriage Conferences® have been held across the U.S. with over 20,000 couples participating.
