I am positive you deserved that special treatment. It's rare, in today's world, that a couple makes it to their fifth anniversary, let alone their fiftieth. That shows God is in the center of your marriage. Thank you for sharing this experience with us.

Wow, fifty years is a long time to be with someone, and for three couples of friends doing it at the same time, might be unheard of. Congratulations again, your husband must be a saint. LOL. You know I'm just teasing. Thanks for sharing.

    Yes, I may be married over 50 years but I am still in my 60s. LOL, I try to make myself feel younger by saying that. But the truth is this is the thing your grandparents did, not yourself. I guess it is better than the alternative and we are glad we made it.
    And thanks for the congrats as it was a fun time too. I appreciate your kind comments, my awesome friend. Love, Debi

Since my wife Yvonne and I celebrated our 50th last year, please allow me to wish you and Glen the happiest of all, and not even as an after thought the same goes out to Patty and Dale, and Reen and Don as well. A big congrats to you all.

    I love not just my dear sis, by extension, I love whom you love and all love you back. For me, any who have hatred in their hearts towards you, do not exist.

So lucky to have made it to fifty and three couples at that.
A very nice picture of your 'ride' for the big night.
Well written with good details. An easy read.
Hope Corey (James) was well taken care of.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Debi, a special experience indeed! For me the piece would read better without the repetition of the word "said" in the paragraph about your conversation with Glen. There are also some minor mistakes such as "six month" instead of "six months" or the conjugation of past conditional in the sentence about the roles you played to get to the red carpet. I can see what matters more to you and readers of this piece is the celebration of the occasion though :).

    Chi Phan, first of all I welcome you to the site and I hope we can be good friends. I appreciate the great feedback as I felt I was a little off with this one. I am a poet first and write an occasional prose story on the side, so it is not my specialty. Yet, Grammarly usually catches those mistakes.

    If I go in and clean up the errors would you consider changing this to a higher rating? Either way, like I said I appreciate your feedback.
    Thanks so much. Debi
reply by Chi Phan on 21-Jul-2024
    Sure, I would then rate it as a piece without these mistakes.
reply by the author on 21-Jul-2024
    I did change them and LOL, wow, I had a lot of "saids" in there. But it felt off to me too so I appreciate the heads up.
    Let me know what you think now, if you don't mind.

Bravo! Each and everyone of you deserve standing ovations and "Oscars" to boot for giving it your very best efforts for the last fifty years. I am thrilled that you had such a special night.

"And each man in his time plays many parts." This is a good essay. I don't care for the limo but the red carpet treatment was very appealing. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I've been in a limo a couple of times and it does feel really special, you don't really see as many of them on the road now as you used to a few years ago. I loved reading this Debi and I thought you wrote it really well.

    Hi Jacob. Most kids have been in limos before us older adults. Ouch, that hurts to call myself that. LOL..
    So my kids did it for prom. Is that one of your times?

    Anyway, would recommend that to anyone who had a special celebration.

    When I left primary school the school organised one for our leavers event and then I also went to the theater in one once as well.

    That is pretty cool, Jacob. '
    But it is no big deal to my kids because one of my daughters is a vice pres. of a big company and she has even been over to see the queen when she was still alive and then of course everyone went in a limo. LOL.

Congratulations, again, on your 50th Wedding Anniversary! I'm so blessed to hear you had two couples close to you the same year! Wow! CONGRATULATIONS for the collective 150 years! Y'all should be featured in the local paper.

What a special year for you in so many ways, sweet Debi! It blesses me to be a part.

Love & Blessings to you both across the miles!
Sal and Jack :) :) XOs

    Dearest Sally, you never know that it may make the paper because Reen is the City Administrator of the Ciry of Buffalo. So she is pretty famous around there.
    Anyway you are so sweet and I appreciate your kind comments so very much. Thanks for the awesome review and the honor of your six stars, dear friend.
