Address to my parents on their 50th anniversary

This is what I said to my parents during their vow renewal ceremony on Sunday.

" Mom and Dad:  Today we celebrate your marriage.  You have achieved a remarkable accomplishment.  50 years ago you had the good sense to marry one another!   When you first joined hands and hearts you did not know where life would take you.  You promised to love, honour and cherish one another through all times.   For 50 years you have dried each others tears and applauded many successes together.   You have great love but also great friendship.   Life has surely brought you both many wonderful blessings including your children, grandchildren and great-grandson.   Today we celebrate the memory of all those years together as well the hope of many, many, more memories to come."
