anniversary blurb...Happy 25th Monica

I did a little search for 25th Wedding anniversary ideas. Here are a couple of them:

Gift Suggestions to Purchase for Your 25th Anniversary:
1) Purchase tickets for a movie, sports event, concert, theatre, etc. and wrap with a silver ribbon or place in a silver box.
2) Silver Photo Frame
3) Silver Paper Weight.
4) Plan a trip to Silver Springs in Maryland or Florida, Silverstrand Beach in California or Ireland, or to a Silver Mine.
5) Silver Key Ring
6) Silver Jewelry

Gift Suggestions to Make for Your 25th Anniversary:
1) Put together a CD with songs from the era of the marriage date.
2) Assemble a memory photo album with pictures highlighting 25 years together. Include the wedding, children, grandchildren, friends, trips taken together, homes lived in, etc. A nice addition is to include stories from children and friends.
3) Create a poem, write it in silver ink, and display it in a silver colored frame.
4) Put together a family quilt comprised of each square done by a family member or close friends.
5) Make a wish tree. You can use a big branch that you paint silver and decorate with silver ribbons, ornaments etc. Fill the branches with pictures of major events in your life, people who love and cherish you as well as tickets for a trip, travelers checks, gift certificates for different events and restaurants you could use on a trip, etc.

What I am doing is reading Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus and The Theology of the Body - so that after 25 years I can better understand you. My plan is to re-read them again at our 50th anniversary. Also, since we never really went on a Honeymoon...we could go on one now...

Sade, Hang on to your love.
So if you want it to get stronger
you'd better not let go.
You've gotta hold on longer if you want your love to grow.
You gotta stick together
hand in glove

Hold on tight
don't fight
hang onto your love!




Sanctus Real
Don't Give Up.
