Too bad I wasn't ordained. I could have renewed your vows for free.

Well, not for free, exactly. You would have to feed me. <g>
Congratulations! Keith and I celebrated our 25th on July 22nd. We
went out to dinner with friends, and relaxed.

i'm ordained... but she'd have to give me yarn for services ;)
lace weight silk/mohair would work...
i do think silver anniversaries were more celebrated 20 +
years ago. you'd think, with fewer people staying together
that long now, they would be even more celebrated now, but it
doesn't seem so. my parents forstalled us from throwing them
big parties for their silver & gold anniversaries though. they
preferred the nice quiet dinner.

We had two couples who celebrated their ruby weddings on the island last
month. They threw a join celebration party & dance with the stipulation
that there should be NO presents but instead a donation to a cancer
charity. They raised over 700 pounds.
