July 1, 2017
On July 1, my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. We were thrilled to be a part of this special celebration. The weather was wonderful, my brother and his wife provided the setting, the guests provided the ambiance and the band rocked in the background.
The food was excellent and enjoyed by all. Our good friend Ron was the "tarbender". The wine and beer were flowing and people were catching up after years (in some instances) of absence. Our girls got to hang out with their cousins and two other friends. They had a ton of activities from painting pillow cases to bug hunting paraphernalia.
Many memories were shared and remembered. It was heart warming to see, just how many people that my parents have touched over the years. I feel very fortunate to have parents that have stayed together through thick and thin and sickness and in health. They have provided an excellent role model and I am glad to be able to share it with my girls as well.
I want to say a huge thank you to my brother and his wife for organising and opening up their back yard to host this momentous event.

You might be wondering where Paige was in the air guitar? She ran around to the front yard to hide, as this would be her worst nightmare.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Your parent’s 50th wedding anniversary on Canada Day 2017 looks super amazing. I truly loved all the décor. Thanks my friend for sharing these images here. Anyways, we have also been doing preparations for a vintage inspired wedding ceremony and would like to book the most suitable Los Angeles wedding venues for that. Do you have any décor inspirations?
