I just thought I would post this, as it is quite nice. It was my mum and dad’s 50 th Golden Wedding Anniversary at the weekend and instead of people giving presents my mum asked the guests to give money to the MS Society. A lot of the people still gave them presents but they did manage to raise £300 which I think is really good. We all had a really great party, a hog roast and loads of cake (mmm pavlova) and obviously drunk dancing. I eventually managed to put my very drunken, 79 year old father to bed at 5 in the morning. He felt really great the next day.
I just thought I would post it as I thought that it was a really lovely gesture by my parents.
How lovely! It was so kind of people to donate to a very worthy cause as well as making your Mom and Dad’s very special wedding anniversary one to remember.
I’ve felt very down today, but when I saw this it really lifted me knowing there are so many kind people out there.
Raises glass of Sauvignon to toast the anniversary couple!!!
Aw thanks. I will pass on your regards to them. I’m glad that it put a smile on your face Alison. There are a lot of people out there who do care. Yeh, it was amazing Dom how energised it made my dad feel the next day. :))
Hi Adrian, That really was lovely to read, such a nice thing of your parents to do. Sounds like you all had a great night maybe your Dad enjoyed himself a bit too much… but still sounds good to me!!
Congratulations to your parents on their anniversary and what a lovely gesture by them to raise money for the MS Society in lieu of gifts. Please pass on my best wishes to them
Congratulations to your parents on their special anniversary and what a lovely gesture to donate to the MS Society. Myself and hubby celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary last September and we also asked everybody for donations to the MS Society instead of presents. Anne x
