Celebrating their 40th with style
We went to a great party last night. We were celebrating the 40th anniversary of my husband’s brother and his wife. There were more than 100 people there and we were served prime rib, chicken, or fish - our choice. Everyone was in the party mood. The food was great, the band was splendid, the people congenial - all the good things that make up a good party.
The bride of 40 years doesn’t look it. For that reason, I’m putting her picture here.
Doesn’t she look great! She must have been married in the womb. No, seriously, I was there at the wedding. She was just a young Mexican-American girl who was marrying the man she loved. I guess she was right. He was a keeper - or should we say she was a keeper?
Their two daughters and four grandchildren were there. The next picture is dim, but she is dancing the cha cha with her oldest grandson. He was learning as fast as he could.
Isn’t that sweet? The children were so well behaved, though they were beginning to lose it when we left about 10:30PM. That’s late for children and it’s especially late for children who are at a grownup party.
Here’s another picture. The only granddaughter is having a very grownup discussion with #1 grandson.
Isn’t that sweet? It’s great when families get together to celebrate, isn’t it? I hope there are many more celebrations for this couple and for the people who came together last night to celebrate with them.
