Golden Celebration
 |
| Marilyn and Harold M. June 2, 1963 Riverton, WY |
Two years ago, my oldest sister Evelyn and her husband Paul celebrated their Golden Anniversary; however, they decided not to have a party. Their wedding photo will be posted soon on their anniversary.
Some interesting tidbits:
• my sisters married brothers
• my sisters wore the same wedding gown and veil
• my sisters' bouquets were Bibles covered with red roses
• the weddings were in the same church
• the receptions were held in the church basement
• the newlyweds opened their gifts at the reception

How wonderful to be celebrating 50 years of marriage!

What fun facts about your sisters weddings. Congratulations to the couple!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Marilyn and Harold! Wishing them many more happy years.
ReplyDeleteI think that is how most weddings were 50 years ago. This new way of spending as much as a house to get married is CRAZY. Steve's step-mother made our wedding at her house and did all the planning in three weeks. I don't know HOW she did it, but we had a wonderful day. And I can guarantee she did it for under a $1,000 budget. LOL
Wow...50 years! Congrats!!! What a nice wedding picture. Marilyn looks lovely in her gown, and Harold looks so handsome. Nice that you all could gather and celebrate. Yea!!
ReplyDeleteSomething to be proud of for sure.

Lovely!! Congratulations to the golden couple. My mother's brother married my father's sister so I have double first cousins which makes some very close relationships within families!! I love that they wore the same dress. Such closeness is rare these days when sisters fight over who will get married first.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to both couples on their longevity. And I love the connections. I think in general, weddings have gotten out of hand. It makes me very sad when I hear parents are taking out second mortgages to pay for a wedding, or young couples are choosing the big party over a downpayment on a home...
