Silver Wedding Anniversaries

Rosesarered: for my Pearl wedding anniversary my husband bought me..... a bag of pearl barley and thought it hilarious.

I didn't.

Hmmmm.

go for it ladies. on our 40th ( Ruby) went on a cruise for the first time and loved it that was in 1988, after afew years we did another cruise and after that cruised twice a year, on our 50th again a cruise, in our cabin was a card from the captain and beautiful flowers and bottle champagne, after dinner waiters came round table and sang happy anniversary, also a cake all this was compliments from the cruise line, great memories unforgettable, my husband died eleven years ago but memories are always there.

We have just celebrated our Golden Wedding and we had a thanksgiving service at the church where we were married( and still attend) and we invited as many of the people that are still around when we got married including the friend who introduced us. Apart from that there were friends we had made along the way and even 3 out of my four little bridesmaids one of whom I have not seen since she was 12 ( She is now 58!!)
It was very emotional but at the same time very uplifting as three of our grandchildren read and our organist came with a choir and we got to choose our own music. Following that we had a buffet reception in which we could all get together. We came home with a lovely warm feeling knowing we have been lucky enough to get this far together. Our eldest son also celebrated his silver wedding a month earlier but choose to be very low key as he felt it was a personal occasion between him and our daughter-in-law.

Yesterday was our Ruby Wedding, we hired a small room at a local hotel just for our children and grandchildren, had a splendid meal and when the little ones had finished they could get down and play without disturbing anybody else, a perfect day .

Congratulations rosemary we had our ruby this year too.
Lovely to compare the two photos.

I went to a Diamond Wedding Barn Dance celebration on Saturday. It was a lovely way to celebrate 60 years together! The couple were also looking forward to a family lunch out on Sunday. The wife has known me since I was born and her sister and BiL had come over from Canada too. Great to catch up!
Congratulations to Hunt who has also achieved 60 years of marriage!
