60th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

[Golddollar]

On January 30, 1960, my Uncle Gene and Aunt Gail entered the bonds of matrimony, and I was at the wedding. Tomorrow evening, our family is putting on a celebration of my aunt and uncle's 60th wedding anniversary. I consider myself blessed to have been there when they started their lives together and to have them as part of my life for all these years. They are not much older than me so in large measure we are more like siblings. I have the honor of driving them down to Frederick, MD for their party. Anybody have a chauffer's cap I can borrow?

Congratulations to Uncle Gene and Aunt Gail!!!!
Sixty years together is a great example to the current generation, where 6 months to a year seem to be the norm.

I pray good health and God's blessings upon them today.

I just got back from the 60th wedding anniversary party we had for my Uncle Gene and Aunt Gail. We had 40 some people there, including another of my uncles who was a guest at the wedding like I was. As the best example of how my aunt and uncle looked after me when we all lived in the same town, I told how when I got carried out of my office with chest pains back in 1997, and that they beat the ambulance to the hospital. It was comforting to have them there, especially since my aunt was a nurse by profession. To match what my aunt and uncle did, if I got married tomorrow I'd have to live to be 127 years old. It was a wonderful celebration and I'm glad I was there when they started their lives together. Thank you for all your kind words and thoughts.

I want to know how you looked in the Chauffeur’s hat?!

I guess you could wear your top hat and outfit you wear when you drag the poor groundhog out of his warm burrow!!

PS both are GREAT posts by the way. Congratulations to your aunt and uncle. I could easily make it to a 60 year anniversary, but would need at least 20 women combined to get there!

I officiated at my parent's vow renewal on their 60th anniversary. They celebrated one more after that before Mom passed away from cancer.

I remember something my Dad said at that ceremony: "We have been married 60 years, but it's not my fault." Lot's of wisdom there as I approach my 42nd anniversary.

How cool is that?
