Golden anniversary June 14, 2019 Fifty years ago today, Ted and I were married. Tomorrow, we’ll get started on the next fifty years. My mom and I designed and made my wedding gown. I cut the appliqués and sewed them and the lace on by hand. My bouquet was similar to my mom’s wedding bouquet. We’re still this happy together. You can see rice in the air. It definitely brought us prosperity, fertility, and good fortune. We never had a chance to finish eating the first piece of wedding cake we cut for each other. It was a sour cream chocolate cake, and every crumb was eaten because people came back for seconds.
