Celebrations!

 



 



 

And what an occasion to celebrate...a 50th Wedding Anniversary!

Yes, November 2016 marked 50 years of marriage for my mum & dad and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner to celebrate.



 

 

We decorated the Taumarunui Senior Citizens rooms and put together a photo board showing milestones and family occasions over the years, which caused a lot of "remember when..." and "OMG, don't put THAT photo up there"!!   :) 

 

But the memories and anecdotes that it prompted from guests later that night made us glad it was there. There was a lot of reminiscing done!

 

Guests came from near and far to help us celebrate and it was so good to catch up with so many people we hadn't seen for ages (years in some cases!) I always enjoy having a happy occasion to catch up with people rather than a sad one which seems to be more frequent these days  :(

 

 

A great time to get an updated family photo!

 

 

Mum & Dad - Congratulations on 50 years together! Thank you for your love and commitment to each other - it is a wonderful example to us all.
