Celebrating 50 Years!

In today's world it seems rare that people last in a marriage more than 20 or 30 years.
 We were very happy to help DJ's mom and dad celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary last week in South Dakota!
They are a great example to us all and we love them :)

The kids all got together and bought a picture collage (you'll see below) and a scrapbook celebrating the last 50 years.

Vivian opening the scrapbook. She was happy.

My father in law, Dan, wearing the bow from the package. Looking sharp!

This is the picture collage we had made for them at the frame shop where I work.

Setting up for the reception. Nice face Dani!

The Vetter men ~ DJ, Dave, Dan, Dale & Shorty

That's a great group of guys right there.

Two sweet ladies ~ my sister in law, Nancy, and Vivian.

Mom, Dad & Kids

I love this picture! Vivian, the family matriarch, is organizing everyone for the big family photo.

This is the temporary picture of everyone together. 
Nancy is going to clean it up by getting rid of those big pictures on the wall 
and adding the grandkids that couldn't be there.

It was a busy but good day of celebrating. 

The Open House was from 2-4pm then we went to mass at 5pm.
Dinner was at 6:30pm and people hung around until 10pm or so.

There was a little over a 100 people for the reception and dinner I believe.

DJ and I are getting close to 25 years of marriage.
 Looking forward to celebrating 50! 

Congratulations Dan & Vivian!
