Happy 50th Anniversary!

by Leigh Anne on March 28, 2009

Today is my parent’s 50th Wedding Anniversary.

Tessa and I are in Dallas Texas this weekend to celebrate with them.  My nephew is also getting married today, on their anniversary day!

Here they are 50 years ago…

Yes I know, I look just like my mother.  Thank you! 

And here they are 3 children, 11 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild and 50 years later.  Just as cute and still in love!

Congratulations to your parents…what a neat thing to be able to celebrate. And yes, I thought you looked like your mom when I saw that first picture, but then I saw the last picture of your parents and wow, you sure look a lot like your dad, too! Have fun in Texas (my husband grew up in Dallas!).

In 1974 I was at my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. I still remember it, even though I was just 8 years old. Congrats to your parents! and to you for having such a lovely family.

Congratulations to your parents on this wonderful milestone! My husband and I will celebrate our 50th next year. We have friends that are also having their 50th this weekend in UT.

I agree that you resemble both of your parents. Lucky you!

May all of your family enjoy special blessings on this occasion.

Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures and your sentiments about your amazing parents. They have touched so many lives for good over the years–including mine and my dear Richard’s. So many call them “blessed.”

Such wonderful pics of your mom and dad Leigh Anne!!! I followed the link over from Facebook…….my mom sent me the B & W picture of them. Love it!!

I know your parents! My parents, Kenney and Patti McEwan were in their ward in Vancouver. I didn’t grow up in Vancouver, but spent some time there and definitely remember your mom and dad. Congrats to them!
