Last month was my parents' 40th anniversary. That's so unheard of these days, and I am so proud of them for 40 years of what I describe as a true love miracle. They met when they were 8 years old, became best friends in middle school/high school, and have been together since their junior year of high school. Isn't that amazing?
To celebrate such a huge accomplishment, my sister and I threw them a small surprise dinner party with 50 of their closest friends and family. Despite the brief monsoon that took over the park for about an house before the party started, it turned out beautifully and my parents were more than surprised.
Here they are walking up to a packed picnic area full of familiar face. Very different from what they expected, which was my sister and brother in law were in town and taking them out to a simple dinner.
SURPRISE!
Everyone's in town!
Aren't the centerpieces gorgeous? Daisies- just like in their wedding.
How cute are they? I'm so blessed.
Well done Auntie T! We pulled it off and somehow everyone kept it a surprise! Here's to never throwing a big surprise party from out of state again! :)
We absolutely LOVED IT!!! And we know how much work it was to pull it off. (I have some experience at weddings you know.) What wonderful family, friends and daughters we are blessed with. Dad and Mom
