Celebrating Five Decades of Togetherness

October 30, 1960 was the date,

When you  first both  took your vows before God,
To Love and To Cherish in Sickness and in HEALTH,

In adversity and in prosperity, until death  part your ways...

Today, half a century later you  renewed  those vows,

with heads up high, with pride, joy and a cheerful heart,

for making it through life for the past fifty years of your existence as husband and wife.

It seemed like only yesterday, when you were both young, dashing and exploring life. Your love story was a perfect example of what destiny was meant to be. A whirlwind romance, ending in marriage  that no one expected  to last five decades of Blissful togetherness.

In hindsights, you both traveled the peaks and valleys in the highway of life in raising your five children, armed only with  your guts and   strong determination. 
You made it through with flying colors.

By simply showing that WE  have to GO through life with the flow of the currents  and not against it. 

Indeed, fifty years is quite a while for most good things to last, and that's a lifetime achievement beyond compare.

From a roller coaster of the past, moving forward, towards a glorious future.

You are both role models, in showing that two heads are better than one.
That, when  facing life's challenges, it is best to be a TEAM walking side by side and not ahead nor behind.

You showed us the values of commitment, caring, devotion, and unconditional love.

We are  truly GRATEFUL to GOD for being born to  parents like you.

YOU are both  God's greatest blessings to us.

As we celebrate a milestone in your togetherness,

Let the bond  of LOVE keeps on growing until the sun sets in your life,

May it be a golden beacon for the rest of us.

Happy fiftieth anniversary to our beloved Papa and Mama!

Cheers to your golden  years of marriage and beyond!!!!
