60th Wedding Anniversary

Last week we were in Geraldine to celebrate my Mum and Dad's 60 the wedding anniversary. It doesn't seem all that long ago we since we celebrated the 50 year mark but obviously it is ten years on. This time it was a much more low key event. On the actual day, 27 February, we went out to lunch at one of the local cafe and then on Saturday the whole clan arrived, first for the cutting of the cake and afternoon, and later that evening a buffet meal we had prepared.

We had lots of laughs, congratulatory letters to read including one of the Queen and the Governor General, and a toast to the celebrated couple. 60 years is certainly a long time to be married to the same person especially in this day and age. As Keith said friendship really is the basis of a good marriage. That and plenty of humour and Dad certainly has plenty of that!! Every year of their 60 years they have celebrated by having a waltz around the kitchen, in their nightwear. This year We captured it on film, only to have Dad, as quick as say that the first ten years were in their 'all together'!!
