Last week on April 13th was a very special day for celebration. And in all likelihood, I should have done this post last week. However, I decided to wait until this week because the sweet folks this post is about, had company and were busy celebrating it up big last week.....so we will continue in honoring them this week here on The Coloradolady.
What is the celebration you ask?? Well, here is a vintage card to give a hint as to the occasion.
This cute little vintage card shows a young couple just starting out on their journey. A lot can be said about the beginning and the life long walk you make with someone in this world. My Aunt Joyce and Uncle Hank I feel sure could teach us all a few things on this....you see, last week, they celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary.
Happy Anniversary of 61 years!!!
I know you had a great week last week, but I felt the celebration was still in order. I love you very much!!!
Thanks to my Aunt LaVoice for the photo....yes I stole it to use today!!!
Happy Vintage Thingie everyone....and let me make one thing clear....my "vintage thingie" is the card, not my sweet aunt and uncle!!!!
Happy Anniversary to your Aunt & Uncle. 61 years is mighty impressive. By the way, I love your Aunt's owl pendant/necklace.
ReplyDeleteI am sure they will be shocked and hopefully pleased you honored them for this special occasion. I am glad you did. You know you are welcomed to use anything I have. As always, you did a nice job.
ReplyDeleteOh what a great post! I admire people who have kept their vows through thick and thin and celebrate their lives together.
ReplyDeletelove that little card too!
What a beautiful couple! "This is what TRUE LOVE really is"! Happy Anniversary to two Very Special People!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you,

My younger sisters marriage did not last 61 days, much less even a thought of 61 years. This just does not happen too often these days. Impressive to say the least. Congrats to the lucky and happy couple.
ReplyDeleteps That is one reason I am still single..did not think this type of thing still existed today.
Congratulations to your aunt and uncle! How sweet!! Your vintage card is really cute. Thanks for hosting this fun party! And have a wonderful Easter.
ReplyDeleteTo me there is nothing more romantic than to see a couple who have been married for so many years. Congratulations and love to your lovely Aunt and Uncle. And my aren't they cute!! Happy Easter dear Suzanne to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteLots of love,
Susan and Bentley

How very very sweet! If Jesus doesn't come back to get us first, I fully intend on hitting that mark as well! What a blessing to be married to the person on earth that you most want to be with!

For sure a lovely couple. We all take inspiration from a couple that has managed to be married for 61 years. This Saturday will be 51 for us. All the best to them and the card is so cute. Blessings

Wow ~ 61 years! Congratulations to them! This is my first visit to your blog. I'm visiting from Meme's place ~ I've noticed she participates in this party a lot and I keep thinking it looks like fun. I've got a few great vintage finds around. One of these days I'll join in. Hope you have a lovely rest of the week and Happy Easter! Stop by for a visit if you get a chance.
ReplyDeleteA long & successful marriage is indeed cause for celebration. We are youngsters , coming up on 40 this year!
ReplyDeleteNot a thing wrong with them being vintage Suzanne. Vintage things are beautiful and so are they. also very inspirational. I didn't know LV was your aunt until just recently from reading your FB :) I hope you won't delete my post because it includes a link to my Etsy shop. let me know if this is what you mean by advertisement and I will take it down.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to your sweet aunt and uncle!

What a sweet post! 61 years is something to be proud of, for sure. Love how the card doesn't sugarcoat "the strain of married life."
ReplyDeleteWonderful WOW 61!! Happy Anniversary to you Aunt and Uncle, what a great honor. My grandparents were married 68 years.
ReplyDeleteThank You for hosting today it was great to read your post about your Aunt and Uncle. Have a great Easter......Julian

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! They sure don't look old enough to be married 61 years.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne, A beautiful example of true love. How wonderful that they have shared all this time together. Just to think of what has happened in the last 61 years.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit. I love the HL china as well. I never meant to collect it but it has evolved. I think I now have 5 sets. Not sure if that constitutes a collection but I love it.
Thank you so much for sharing. Ginger :)
