Love & Marriage

Late July early August is an amazing time amongst my family.  Today for instance, is my in-laws 38th wedding anniversary.  Although my mother-in-law is quite ill, they are celebrating this amazing accomplishment a few days later at a lovely restaurant called The Boathouse, which hopefully will be someplace we will enjoy on our next visit to England!  The traditional gift for such an occasion is Beryl, which I have no idea what that is, so instead I hope they celebrate with a barrel of wine.  Cheers.

My parents will, as of this Sunday, be celebrating their 40th anniversary.  40 is traditionally gifted as ruby, which thankfully I do know what that is.  Now I cannot post what we have purchased for my parents as they will receive their offerings tomorrow, but they will not be disappointed.  My brothers are in charge of it all as I am obviously away currently, so hopefully things run smoothly.  I have faith in them, and in the fact that my Mom has probably prepared more food & excitement then is humanly possible for the guests they are hosting tomorrow.

Just a short post today to wish both sets of our parents a wonderful celebration of love, happiness and laughter.  Adam & I are lucky and blessed to have such great examples of the road to a happy marriage, and we only hope to set the same example as we approach our 15 month celebration next month! 

Which, after researching, I think the traditional gift for is popcorn.  Horray!
