A 50th Anniversary Speech Example
As we see it, Liz and Gordon Silver are by far the most wonderful parents in the world. And as their children, Joseph, Larry and Gary, we're the direct recipients of all the benefits that come from having such outstanding parents. We're lucky, indeed. And we're thrilled for today…to be celebrating the marvelous occasion of their golden wedding anniversary.
Yes, fifty years of marriage for Liz and Gordon. Amazing when you think of just how much time that is.
Mom, who was born Liz Tolman, hailed from Rousdon near Lyme Regis. Dad was from Coven near Wolverhampton. Dad was a young man in 1953 and he was working at the local Town Hall when he was called up for National Service and posted at Wolverley in the Pay Corps. Meanwhile, Mom was in a WRAC training camp where, after 12 weeks, she was transferred to Wolverley and attached to…the Pay Corp. Who says love doesn't pay?
One morning, Mom went to the Wolverley Post Office to buy some stamps and a few bags of sugar. She made her purchases and, balancing all those bags of sugar rather precariously, she started to leave the shop. That's when she heard a voice behind her, and that voice said: "Hey, I'd better catch that for you before it drops." Mom turned around and she laid eyes, for the first time, on Dad.
Of course, they weren't Mom and Dad then. Just Liz and Gordon. But things, as we all know, would change. In 1955, Dad finished his service and went back to Wolverhampton and the Town Hall. Mom stayed on at Wolverley and Dad, in order to see her, spent a fiver on a racing bike which he used, once a week, for the 30 mile round trip to see his lady love.
Finally, in 1957, Mom got out of the service, too. Just for the record, let it be known that Dad had made it to sergeant while Mom was "a mere" corporal.
The lovebirds finally achieved the inevitable on March 29, 1958 when they tied the knot at St Mary's Church in Bushbury. Mom was thrilled that ceremony was performed by a good looking young curate as opposed to the old Vicar. Dad apparently didn't notice one way or the other.
The newlyweds spent their honeymoon in the Falcon Hotel in London where, believe it or not, they met another couple who had married on the same day. Their name? Silver. In this case, Roy and Ann. The couples are still friends and still in touch. In fact, Roy and Ann are not here today for one reason only: They too are celebrating their Golden Wedding Anniversary right now!
Over the years, Mom and Dad made a wonderful home for all 3 of us. They infused our home with love that lasts to this day, and they raised us with marvelous wisdom, Lizience, kindness and so much fun. We are truly lucky to have them as our parents. In fact, the truth is this: We love them to bits.
I tell you, all couples have the occasional argument, but as far as Mom and Dad are concerned, they must have had theirs somewhere far off in the distance. We never heard a tiff, not so much as a single cross word between them.
They're quite the couple in so many ways. And so many wonderful memories stay with us. Like the time, for instance, when we holidayed in the Highlands and we found ourselves on a motorboat jaunt around Loch Awe. It was a gorgeous, sunny day and mom moved forward to enjoy the sun -- topless!
We remember Dad's really hot car, a Ford Capri 3.0 litre. It was the IN car of the '70s and Dad sure loved it. Mom, meanwhile, drove us around in a little brown mini 850. Not half as stylish as Dad's, but I guess it got us around alright.
They like good food, fine wine and great friends. Dad's a damned good cook and he's proud of it. He's also the kind of fellow who tries someone once and then gets completely immersed in it until he's the best at it altogether. For instance, considering all his church dealings, I'm surprised that he hasn't converted to Catholicism and made his bid to become Pope Gordon I. He'd look pretty nifty in the Vatican in that new beard of his, too.
Along the way, Mom and Dad have managed to become grandparents to two adorable little girls. Molly is one year old and she's still drooling on their nice, neat and clean clothing. Lucy, on the other hand, is four, and she's fascinated by the fact that when Grandma and Grandad were kids, they would go to the bathroom in something called a "guzunder," or a "posh potty." That is unless they had to make a trip outside, often at night with a candle, to what Lucy hysterically refers to as "the bucket with a plank over it."
Such is life and such is the story of a wonderful love that has managed to live on for 50 years going. We hope and pray for many happy years more.
On that note, before ending this address, we'd like to make a special acknowledgement of the wonderful Lionello Coen, a marvelous surgeon who, because of his efforts, has ensured that Dad is here with us now, and healthy for sure.
Dad, keep on shooting at clay pigeons and enjoy that new black powder hand gun. Mom, have a blast painting those watercolours, doing your cross stitching and, by all means, keep on TRYING to play the piano.
As people, you're wonderful. As friends you're fabulous. And as parents, you're truly marvelous. To both of you, our thanks, our love and our wishes for another 50 happy, healthy, joyous and love-filled years. You deserve no less.
Love,
Joseph, Larry and Gary
