Well, it was amazing! After months of planning, my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration was even better than we could have imagined. A beautiful, touching Mass & then the reception that was absolutely perfect! There are so many moments to mention that I'm not sure my words will do it justice. The theme was "A Moment to Remember" as they danced to this song by the Four Lads 50 years ago.
Here are some "moments":
- Aunt El and cousin Diane making the trip from California (thank you so much!)
- Having the family participate in the Mass & making it so personal
- Rachel & Adam being the best servers & coming over to kiss Mom & Dad
- Tearing up when they renewed their vows
- Lauren & Stephanie who were the best planners & "doers" - amazing invitations & program
- Setting up on Friday night until midnight (all worth it)
- The totally fun "Paul & Carol Bingo" that my brother Tim invented
- The longest speech ever by my Dad - my battery died during it!
- Mary drinking a bottle of Fat Bastard & her & Pat making out in the photo booth!
- The photo booth - it was a total HIT! Thanks Tim!
- Wishing we could have eaten more of the awesome food!
- Josephine drinking cups of Coke & never being tired (I wonder why)
- How many times did Joanie redo the seating arrangement?
- Kay & I cleaning out the chocolate fountain (I'm laughing right now about it)
- My sister, Mary, who did the best job being the planner - she's amazing!
- Bonding with my siblings again during the "planning phase"& seeing our parents so happy & still so in love....
