Grandma and Grandpa
Their 50th Wedding Anniversary
May 24, 2009
________________



While my grandparents' anniversary was actually on May 10th of this year, the family chose to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary last night with a formal party, and today with an elaborate brunch at their home.

My grandparents and I are incredibly close and always have been. We talk about anything and everything, and have so many fantastic memories. Both are incredibly down to earth, funny, caring, honest, unique, and so many other things, that it would take days for me to list them all.

When my grandfather enters a room, he acquires everyone's attention with his stories, sayings, and creative and silly songs. Grandma's infectious laugh, outgoing character, and fun nature does much the same. These two wonderful people are loved by everyone who meets them, and forgotten by nobody.

Theirs is a love story that has gone through so much. 50 years together has demonstrated that love takes a lot of commitment, work, and care to last as long as a couple vows it will at the alter. When I've talked to each of them about the past 50 years they've spent together, they each told me how through it all, they couldn't dream of their lives without one another.

Congratulations to you both! I love you so very much!!!
