Navigation - Golden Wedding Anniversaries Will Be Linked Here and Posted in the Left Column

Sometimes one spouse does not live to the 50th wedding anniversary, but the date is still the golden anniversary, even in this grief-denying society of ours. I am listing all golden anniversary posts here and also putting this post in the left column with the rings graphic.

In the unlikely event of an oversight, please let the overworked and underpaid blogger know. I am adding the label Golden Wedding Anniversary to the ones previously posted. Click on the label list and see if you were included, or look on your post and see if the label is there.

Golden Wedding Anniversary labeled posts - linked here.

Significant anniversaries are also posted if one spouse belongs to The Class the Stars Fell On - MHS 66. That can be 10, 20, 24, 36, or any other year.

GJ - I am posting 50th wedding anniversaries and other anniversaries being celebrated. Let me know on Facebook if you want yours listed. I will mark the 50th with the golden wedding anniversary label so we can see them as a group.

Thank you for sending me other notices, more somber. It helps to have them in one place.

They celebrated anniversaries with the rest of their kin.
