Today is officially mom and dads 50th wedding anniversary and I thought I would share a few pics of the big event on Sat. It went really well despite being +34 on the big day and me in the kitchen most of the time. My sis, cousin and myself thought we were going to die so the boys put a huge block of ice in front of a fan for us and it helped a bit. I made hubby drain the 2 huge pots of boiling potatoes for mashed potatoes because the steam would have killed me for sure. But it was great time by all, so enjoy the pics . I was either in the kitchen or behind the camera so none of me on the big day and to think of all the time I took to do my hair and make up.. :lol2:
My 13 yr old niece also started the banquet out by singing " The Climb" by Miley Cyrus, she was amazing . I won't post any pics of her though.
The hall Friday night after we set up tables and decorated (I had to take charge as it was complete chaos and we were getting no where, but all was forgiven Monday afternoon.
)
The cake used for the "cutting of the cake" it is the pic of my parents that was used on the invitations.
The hall full of guests and the celebration has begun.
My sister giving a toast on behalf of the immediate family.
Mom and dad sharing a laugh about how they met. (It started with her and her best friend heading to the lake with a couple cases of beer and dad has been drinking her beer ever since :lol: .)
The cutting of the cake and the spoons were tapping the glasses so the impending traditional kiss.
Mom said " but he's all sweaty" :lol2:
We all laughed and a few other comments were made as well ;-) but they fulfilled their obligations.
Hubby took a few pics on Sunday as we put on a lunch for anyone that stayed over at the hall in their RV's or in town in hotels. So me in my familiar place all weekend working.
All went well, alot of work but my parents and all their guests had a great time. So it was definitely worth it.
