Special Day today
« on: September 05, 2020, 09:26:34 AM »
I am taking a break from the MEM show today as SWMBO (aka Penny) and I are celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary. Yes, really, we have survived 50 years together and still going strong.
Thanks to Covid, we are not on the holiday that we were hoping to take, just going out for a celebratory meal, then back home to drink our bottle of champagne.

Well done, Ray and Penny, it’s a great milestone.

Enjoy your simple celebration and enjoy pondering over what event you will choose when life allows more opportunities.

 Ray and Penny.

Congratulations to you both, 50 years is a long time together.

Sonia and I tried to celebrate our Golden Anniversary +1 back in April. UK was in full lock-down, we could not even leave the house.

Enjoy you meal together :wine1: :wine1:

It is the journey that matters, not the destination

Congratulations!  50 is a big number!  Well done!  Enjoy your celebration regardless of what it is.  It's not the celebration itself, it's who it's with that counts!

Ray:

Congratulations. Denise and I celebrated our 30th Sept. 1. We'll likely not make it to our 50th as we're already old!

Tradition has it she gets an unmounted gem of some sort. Traditionally in a small custom make jewelry box. Here is the one for our 30th.


And the whole collection from the last 30 years.


With luck many more years and adventures to come. Stay happy and safe.

Thanks.
Hugh

Ray & Penny,
Congratulations 50 years together is a phenomenal feat. Our 22nd is coming up in October. If we make it to 50 I'd be 88 and I can't say how old my wife would be. :lolb:

The 50th seems to be a major point in the affair. I remember my parents 50th we had a big "to do" for them. On the other hand for ours I don't remember any thing particular, I guess because we were  out here 1800 miles from all the other kin folk.  So in Oct when it gets to be the 63rd it won't be anything to write home about either I guess. :-)   We just keep on going on.  :-)
