Fifty years ago this week, I got married. If my husband had survived (he died 5 years
ago), it would have been our Golden Wedding Anniversary.
It is difficult to know whether one should celebrate such an
event alone, but getting married changed my life (for the better!) and I have
chosen to celebrate it.

My wonderful children have been amazing. I received beautiful flowers (with
heavenly-scented stock amongst them), and taken out for a celebratory dinner.

I feel truly blessed – and totally spoilt!
Cheers,
Margaret 😊
My but you were a beautiful bride. I think it's lovely to celebrate the special day even if, unfortunately, your dear one has passed away. So glad your children made the day special...the flowers are gorgeous!!

A bitter-sweet day for you Margaret , I'm glad your family celebrated, for you will have much to look back on with affection. All those special days are tinged with sadness, aren't they- the birthdays, anniversaries, significant days in your children's lives. Wishing you well, and a happy summer ahead.
ReplyDeleteIn two months would be 52 years of marriage for me, if my husband had not died 7 years ago, so you and I are on a similar time line. How good you had a dinner treat and bouquet to mark the anniversary.
ReplyDeleteOh Margaret - I hear you - we would have made 50 yrs next year, but DH died six years ago... my family have always been really sensitive about the anniversary - especially as it is only two days before he died...
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful photo that last one with the tears of joy.
Blessings
