A Diamond Jubilee

Photobucket
The tradition of celebrating a 60th anniversary came into popularity after Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee. One of the reasons we all came together in the Outer Banks this year was to celebrate my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. Aunt B & Liz made a wonderful cake complete with a bride&groom on top. Then I insisted on hearing the tale of how they met, which led to the sharing of many more life experiences- some which I knew of, and some that were new to me. I could have listened to them for hours. Gram also brought some of her wedding photos along to show us. Aren't they a handsome couple? And a gorgeous bride!
