What an amazing celebration and what an incredible family! 50 years, 50 YEARS! Can I just say, wow! How inspiring it was to be around these two lovely people who have loved, cherished, and supported each other for 50 years. It really lights me up to hear about these epic love stories that have stood the test of time. I was not alone in this excitement either, their kids (all grown up themselves) decided to throw them a wonderful party with their closet friends and family at a place near and dear to their hearts.
Every detail of their anniversary party was well thought out, from the location and food, provided by Starmount Forest Country Club (a favorite spot for these Greensboro locals):
Starmount Forest Country Club definitely didn’t disappoint with the excellent food, service, and attention to detail. Their event manager, Sonja, was a master and prompt throughout the entire event.
One other special detail was for the couple to incorporate their wedding colors into their outfits and what better way than with a matching boutonniere and corsage.
However, the fun didn’t stop there.. I mean look at these awesome people!
The evening continued with even more laughter, dancing, eating and fun! I do have to take a moment though to put the spotlight on all of the children at the event whose energy was undoubtedly infectious!
Then it was time for the speeches, bringing on laughter and tears.
There were so many emotions..
Then it came time to cut the cake; however, Chuck had a little something stuck to his pants.. HAH! There were so many comedians in this crowd!
The night ended with a “Whose been married the longest?” dance.
You’d think 50 years would be hard to top but not for this couple, who won with 60+ years under their belt!
This night was simply a celebration of marriage, life, and love! I am unbelievably thankful that I got to capture such a wonderful evening! I wish all of the happy couples 50+ more years of happiness, love and adventure!
A little marriage advice from the happy couple is to make each other laugh and always support each others goals.
Special thanks to their daughter, Sara, who hired me for this special occasion. Your family is amazing!
