Gold Old Days (50th wedding)

A golden wedding anniversary shows us that there is still loyalty and commitment in this world.


Only 5% of couples make it to 50 years. In the world we live now where over 50% of marriages end in divorce or separation, 50th wedding anniversaries is a rare feat that deserves a big celebration.


 Im so proud to say that my parents in law are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary today.  Their commitment to one another through good times and  bad…in sickness and in health…for richer and for poorer – had stood the test of time.



  They both served as beautiful role models to all of their family members and to the world of what marriage can be.  We love them and thank them for their inspiring love! Achieving a 50th wedding anniversary is a pinnacle that only few couples attain.


A little walk down the memory lane...

My father in law is the only brother to her three sisters for whom they devoted their  lives in single blessedness. He worked as an engineer in his prime.



 My mother in law worked as an accountant at the COA.  Though busy with her professional life, she was a loving and devoted wife and a dedicated mother to her three children.



 They have amazing 3 children  and raised them in such a way that their own families are now filled with the same love and respect that was bestowed upon them growing up.

Kuya Rollie and Ate Tatit are now living in Brisbane, Australia . Kuya Rollie graduated at the Ateneo de Manila University with a degree of AB Economics.


They were blessed with three wonderful and talented children...Bianca, Miguel and Bettina. Bianca recently graduated at the University of Queensland with a degree of BS major Chemical Engineering, cum laude.



Ate Cecille, the only daughter got married to Kuya Ricric Piscacio of Violeta Village Guiguinto, Bulacan. They are into landscaping and aesthetic gardening.





...they were blessed with three children Trisha, Gerard and CJ.


 My husband Ricky is the youngest ...he and I were married for 15 years and have 3 children too.




  Having them watched their children grew into such fine men and woman... then raised their own children in a way that mimics the way they raised them—I can’t imagine that there will be a more proud moment in a person’s life than seeing your own children raise THEIR children to be loving, caring, honest, God-fearing adults.





 They had been inspirational in showing me what true love and commitment means to a marriage when faced with trials and difficulties.  I have admired their simple ways of showing affection in their everyday lives.



 Today they can look back on 50 years and be very proud of all they’ve accomplished, and the incredible journey we’ve all been lucky enough to share with them.





  And being married to one of the fruits of their love.....i secretly wish  that we could follow their path.



 Your love, dedication and commitment to one another is truly an inspiration to all who know you.


 Yes, we are blessed beyond measure to have known the joy of happy marriages in our family!
They are, each one, golden.



Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary Papa & Mama!!!
