A Night To Remember
My parents want to have a simple celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary, which is going to be in six months. They don't want to renew their wedding vows anymore since they already renewed their vows on their 25th wedding anniversary. And neither is a big party. With their children and grandchildren is how they want to celebrate it. They also plan to invite close relatives to celebrate with us in a restaurant with a good reputation.
As the oldest child, I took the initiative of contacting my siblings on what we will do on the wedding anniversary of our parents. Since we now are all living away from home, it is very much a challenge for us to meet up and talk about it. Plus our busy schedules don't permit us to do meet-ups on weekends. Utilizing Skype and using emails helped us to get in contact with each other and disseminate our ideas. During our discussions, we agreed that all our children will present a song number or a dance show for a short program. Our parents would love that as they are extremely proud of their granchildren's talents.
One sister thought of giving both parents a special gift. However, what to give them is the challenge that we were faced with. An "aha!" moment struck a sister and suggested we give them something befitting for a golden wedding anniversary. How about giving them palladium wedding rings, one brother said. We wanted him to elaborate on his gift idea. He said that palladium is a rare metal just like platinum. It is silvery-white in color and is less expensive than platinum although palladium is part of the platinum group of metals. If we can decide to choose that as our anniversary present, we can avail of special offers.
We accepted our brother's proposal. We gave him the duty of finding the right style of the anniversary diamond eternity rings because he was the one who suggested it. Our brother presented us with five designs to choose from. We picked the design with five diamonds. The 0.25 carat center diamond is larger than the four diamonds on its shoulder. The five diamonds represented the 50 years that our parents have been together in good and in bad times. In substitution for the love our parents have shown us, we give them these gifts to let them how much we care for them.
During the night of the anniversary, our parents were very happy. They were very delighted that all of us were present. The were also surprised about the presentations of their grandchildren. A number of them sang. And some of them danced. It was truly a night of fun and recollections. But then it was time to present our big surprise gift. My parents were without words. And all of us discussed that these rings were our expressions of love.
