Tommorow is my parents 50th wedding anniversary!!
50 whole years!!!
Hells bells, with my somewhat relationship/marriage history the thought seems barely possible let alone the actuality...how do people do that? I have to say I'm impressed by any one who can achieve such a long term partnership, I just wish I knew their secret! One things for sure, I ain't ever gonna make it to a golden wedding celebration of my own, unless of course I live an inordinate length of time and find anyone who actually wants to marry me and fast! ;o)
Stranger still in this day and age, though I have no issue either way I have to say, I, the eldest child of said long lasting marriage was actually born after the wedding, some years after in fact, that too is about as rare as a 50 year marriage I imagine now.
So, today is the day for getting my mother to the hairdresser and sorting out a manicure etc. etc. in readiness for the planned celebrations at a local hotel over the weekend. It's going to feel pretty odd for me, I haven't often had to be a 'single' at such events and I'm not overly keen on the idea I have to admit. No more am I, as those of you who are regular here will know, on the fact that I have to wear a dress!!
I don't 'do' dresses, I had too one time last year but aside from that I haven't worn a dress for probably 30 years, Hence the same one is going to be wheeled out tomorrow and probably that will be it's only two uses before it is relegated to someplace in the dark recesses of the wardrobe, never to see the light of day again!
There is an upside though, I do at least have my own room and use of all facilities......pool, jacuzzi yada yada, it's just a pity I don't have anyone to share them with ;o)
.......but there's always the wifi connection to keep me occupied!

And I bet you look great in a dress, hows about a photo after the event....
Congrats to your parents on the milestone anniversary too!
wow 50 years that is brilliant.
And go on a dress. Just this once. Good to give your legs and airing and it will put a smile on your parents face. Picturss pls. I bet whatever you wear you will look beautiful babe. x
I remember that dress, it's real pretty! Congratulations to your mom and dad; that's something to celebrate for sure.
Oh yes, do post a photo! Conbgratulations to your parents. My parents got to their 50th too and I remember having a bit of a problem finding a card for the occasion. In most shops I tried, there were gasps of astonishment. Sad really, but a sign of the times. Have a great day, anyway. :)
how romantic! this is my first comment, saw you on pinkjellybaby's list...my name is gemma, too =) such an uncommon name that i had to drop by and say HI!
Chippy...lol..how about not a photo! heh. There's actually already one on here somewhere...I can't for the life of me imagine where tho! ;o)
Fabby: Thank you....Lol, might have a private pic somewhere! heh.
Daisy: Thank you....Wow...you have a good memory :o)))
Jenny: I just had the very same problem this afternoon!!! There were only about 3 between 4 shops!!! Sign of the times indeed, sad isnt it :o/ Congrats passed one and thank you :o)
WoW!!! 50 years!! I only managed 6 the first time and 20 the second....Congrats to your Parents
50 years, I shall never see my 50th either, this is my second hubby. 17 years this year for me.
Huge congratulations to your Mum & Dad. Enjoy the party x
I'll bet you're on your way home now. I suppose the party's over. I'm a bit depressed that I didn't get to see you in a dress (or a Jacuzzi). Yes. A photo would be lovely, thank you.
Oh and congrats to your mum and dad. My parents celebrated their 60th last May. Dad says the first 50 were the hardest, so I expect your parents are over that hurdle.

I remember that dress too - it was very pretty and lovely shoes went with it!
So pleased TP is up to the celebrations as well. I recall my parents' 50th and next year it's their 60th!!
