50th Anniversary Celebration!

Last night marked 50 years of marriage for my parents. We celebrated with family and honored them for being such an inspiration to all of our marriages. Not many make it to the golden years of marriage for it takes work and dedication. When asked their secret on how to make it Daddy said, " You have to pick the right woman!" O.K. well we all know the guys did that :-) Mom said, " Each person has to put the other person's feelings before their own." Sounds easy! But actually it is quite an accomplishment for anyone to make a marriage work. They have made it look so easy and have been an awesome example for all of us. So... here are pictures from the night of Golden Memories...




The table was set...

That was a fun night. I enjoyed it. I hope that I can make it 50 years with someone! I don't know who would ever be crazy enough to marry me though! Everyone looked so nice btw.

That night was a very fun and special night. I think Grandma and Grandaddy really enjoyed and appreciated it. 50 years is a very big accomplishment and I think anyone who can make it 50 years deserves a congrats. Congrats Grandma and Grandaddy! :] Everyone did look very nice, but I felt I was under dressed lol Anyone would be lucky enough to marry you Rachel!
