Where did those years go?

On Saturday Stephen and I will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary.
We can't believe it--50 years together---and did we really look that young.
We are going to celebrate this wonderful milestone in our lives by renewing our wedding vows in a small ceremony at our church where we attend.
Two of our three children will be with us and Ebony will be there as well.
Three months ago I had to get my wedding ring cut off my finger because it was cutting off the circulation and we have had it fixed--well actually it has been re-made because the jeweller had problems trying to join in the new gold.
So what he did was melted the gold down and made me a new ring.-it was rose gold and white gold and I also gave him a small cygnet ring that I had when I was about 8 years old and this has been added as well.
I now have-or I should say I will have a new shiny wedding ring on my finger because I can't wear it until after the ceremony as it will be blessed again.
We will have some photos taken so I will show you one after the event--then you can see the before and afters.




I must remember to take a box of tissues with me --I will probably need them.
