50+ Year Anniversaries

Monday, June 21st, 2010

I was reading the Sunday paper this morning (yes, I know it’s Monday but I’m doing the best I can!).  I always check out the Celebrations section of course, to see what the new brides are wearing, where they got married, etc.  But I couldn’t help that my attention was grabbed by some of the anniversaries.  Wow!  Jean and Doris Burns will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary on June 23rd.  Here’s a quote from their announcement:  “Their 60 years of married life have been an adventure.  (I bet that’s an understatement.) They lived in four states and five countries and traveled the world before returning to OK in 1983.”  And there were 5 other couples celebrating their 5oth wedding anniversaries.   And they’re all smiling!  So here’s to Jean and Doris and to you, who are engaged and newly married, with hopes and prayers that 50 years from now your picture will be in the paper, too!
