I have to admit something here. I have never cried during an event as much as I did at this anniversary party. I will explain - First off the couple here that have been married for 50 years now are like my family. That didn't help! Second - they have four unbelievably wonderful sons which who made this anniversary party something to never forget. The event started as a typical surprise party in which many of the guests who were invited were actual attendees at the original wedding 50 years ago. To everyone's surprise almost all of them showed up and made a total guest list of approximately 140. By todays standard that is a decent sized wedding.

Then their were the details. Take a look at the child's dress that I have here in the images I posted. That dress was worn 50 years ago by the Bride's niece. I don't need to mention that there niece now has children married of her own! Wow! The champagne glasses were originally the Anniversary couples parents from their 50 year anniversary 25 years ago. Wow! Needless to say their were so many sentimental items used here that you could not imagine.

Ok, so for the topper of the occasion, Dominic and Jeannie's son David got ordained prior to this event and RE-MARRIED his parents in front of everyone! Cried and Cried and Cried I did. I was so touched to have been honored to witness such a beautiful exchange of vows that day. They were so sweat and everything that happened was so moving I could not stand it. Happy Anniversary Jeannie and Dominic - We Love You Both!
