Happy Anniversary, Mr. & Mrs. G!

WOW! 50 years together! I simply can not wait to say I've been married to my husband for 50 years! I guessed at a few of their secrets...but I'm thinking the truth is probably that they have simply loved and respected each other for their entire lives together.

The Beautiful Couple~
These two were wonderful...they were game for anything I asked them to do, and they even graciously gave me a few minutes to perform minor surgery on my camera. (Thank you Leda!) (This is my favorite.) While Tom & Judy knew this was to be a party in their honor, there were a few suprises for them as they walked in the door. The wedding cake shown below was one of the suprises. (And, it was a Peggy McKinney cake - a yummy suprise for all the guests!) Another suprise is also shown in the below picture - the tablecloth. Their daughter, Susan, snatched it unawares from their home to be on the cake table. The cloth was used in the couple's wedding 50 years ago, and so was a sweet addition to the anniversary party. This is Susan (the anniversary couple's daughter,) her husband Jeff, and their daughters Anna, Caroline and Katherine. I had the pleasure of photographing the triplets last year in their Easter dresses. As I look at this picture, I think...I wonder which of these girls will get married first, and I can't wait to see the tradition continue with their grandmother's tablecloth on their cake table. The trips again - tell me, are they not the most adorable girls EVER?!?!?!!! *a picture just of the two of you...with no children!* Speaking of children, check this out: an impromptu game of Duck, Duck, Goose. Aren't kids the best? One of the most touching parts of the evening was the slideshow. There were pictures in there from Tom & Judy's childhood, all the way up to the present. It was wonderfully put together, and was a beautiful moment for all watching. There was a little bit of everything - cute pictures, sweet pictures, funny pictures. The cake. As soon as I saw the cake, I was hoping they would feed it to each other. I was not disappointed!

Grandmother, Daughter, Grandaughters. Gorgeous, all of them. Sisters. The perfect blend.Sweet Caroline. She stopped me several times during the night and said, "take a picture of me doing this" "take a picture of me with that person" This particular one tickles me. Cheers, Caroline! I love you!

Taylor Lakes Clubhouse housed the event, and it was perfect. I'm not sure on the rules for renting the clubhouse, whether you must live in Taylor Lakes or not, but it's totally worth the call to find out if you're looking for an event venue in Montgomery.

Happy Anniversary, indeed! I'm honored to have been a part of your special evening. I hope to see you both again soon.
