This is my Mom and Dad... and today is their 50th wedding anniversary (to the date!!!) In celebration of this very special day, my sister's and I hosted a huge party for them!!! Almost everyone that was invited came... nearly 80 people!!!Thinking about being married for 50 years brings up a number of different thoughts... aside from the everyday stuff... they have been so blessed with the "simple" fact that they are both still here!!! They enjoy good health.. they really love each other, and have been the corner stone of our family and all the successes that we have enjoyed. Certainly a reason to celebrate!!!
Girls seem to be the theme of this family... there is myself and two sisters... and then four grand daughters!!!! (All the boys have been "imported" thru marriages!!!)
(my little niece who is being held by our Kassy is two... so, you have to forgive her... this wasn't a good picture day for her!!!!)
This is a photo of the wedding party.... and everyone in the original wedding party, (except for my aunt who passed away several years ago... )was at the anniversary party today.......
This is the wedding party today... 50 years later. What was quite funny is my cousin Kevin, didn't even remember that he had been the "ring bearer" in the wedding... course, we figured that he was just about three years old when he did that!!!! If you look closely... the mannequin beside my Mom has a wedding dress on... that is my Mom's dress.... (it was also worn in three other weddings... my Mom's cousin, my Mom's niece (who is in the green coat in this picture) and my sister Becky... so that "poor old dress" certainly had some use!!!!
What's a wedding party without a wedding cake..... the cake topper is the very topper that was on my parent's cake when they were married.... and actually this is the third time it's been on a cake... as we used it for their 25th party....
Surrounded by family and friends... the wedding couple cuts the cake.....
It was such a fun afternoon... lots of catching up with family, remembering wonderful old stories and a true day of celebration...
dare I say, that wedding anniversary #60 will be here before we know...
Happy, happy anniversary Mom and Dad.... we LOVE you!!!!!!
