A Unique 50th Anniversary Celebration

I have been extremely blessed this summer by marriages celebrations! I have shot 2 50th anniversaries (remember this?), taken a couple's 30th anniversary pictures, and also a single shot for a couples 60th! This 50th celebration was very unique! The family is very musical and it was more like a concert! There was lots of singing (the beautiful kind), and different instruments and piano pieces. It was a blessing and an honor to attend! And the home made food was also amazing! Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day.

I caught Gene & Carolyn holding hands <♥melting>!

Congratulations Suzanne and JC! Thank you for being such great examples!

Gene & Carolyn's 50th Anniversary!

Celebrating 50 years of marriage is a huge deal! People came from all over to celebrate Gene and Carolyn's 50th - California, Louisiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Indiana... What an awesome testimony, and what a fun day! The celebration took place at the Walnut Woods State Park lodge. The tables were decorated with their wedding pictures. The food was yummy. And the day was gorgeous!

The toast to a wonderful testimony of 50 years: Here are Gene and Carolyn with their children: Gene with his 7 remaining brothers and sisters (in order from oldest to youngest): Carolyn's siblings:
This is almost everyone that came:

I ♥ this picture - ooh la la!

These two are "responsible" for the marriage:

And no one is too old for a Hello Kitty band-aid!

Congratulations Gene and Carolyn!
