Golden Anniversary + Two
 |
| Evelyn and Paul M. June 18, 1961 Riverton, WY |
Recently, my family gathered to celebrate a Golden Anniversary; however, my oldest sister and her husband actually reached that milestone two years ago.
Today, Evelyn and Paul have been married 52 years. Since exchanging their vows, they have lived in Wyoming, Missouri, and North Dakota. They have two children and three grandchildren.
Interesting facts (some shared two weeks ago):
• my sisters chose blue and white for their wedding colors
• rice was thrown at both couples as they left the church
• my sisters married brothers
• my sisters wore the same wedding gown and veil
• my sisters' bouquets were Bibles covered with red roses
• my sisters' bouquets were Bibles covered with red roses
• both weddings were in the same church - Trinity Lutheran
• both receptions were held in the church basement
• both receptions were held in the church basement
• the newlyweds opened their gifts at the reception
Congratulations to my "Golden" sisters and brothers-in-law. May they celebrate more years together.

On my Mum's side 2 sisters married 2 brothers and it seemed to make the family ties even closer. The cousins were as close as brothers and sisters. Congratulations to your family and a lovely event(s) to celebrate
ReplyDeleteThat's neat! My half sister and her husband are very close to my inlaws, but no siblings married to siblings here.
ReplyDeleteYes, congratulations to all! It's common today for family members to be in the wedding party, but I don't know if it was back then. Were you in either of the weddings as an attendant?
ReplyDeleteHow fun to gather in family celebration, no matter how many years it has been!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to Evelyn and Paul!! FUn to hear about their similar weddings!!!!
