Once upon a time, in a land far far away *whalom*, there once was a lad who had eyes for a certain brown haired gal. She soon set the lad straight as to which gal was right for him for she deemed herself not to be... He soon realized his amour was misdirected and he got busy readjusting his aim at the fair haired maiden who was truly meant for him for she had 8 wheels and was really really fast. In time they got married and traveled the galaxy together making friends and creating memories to last a lifetime. A life time it has been and memories, you have a boatload. Live well, Laugh often and Love with all your heart... I believe that captures your essence... You guys rock!! Here's to everything that got you here and all that is still unwritten.
I Love, love, luv you two...

Congratulations on your 55th Anniversary. Only the two of you can truly know the meaning of this special day. The memories you have shared from Cleghorn to Italy to Arizona. The caring you have shown to one another, from broken bones to operations, sleepless nights and worries. But most of all the good times and love that is read in your eyes at the end of each day when saying good night, I love you. All our love,
Paul and Carol
Uncle Duffy and Aunt Rita,
It is hard to believe it has been 55 years since Diane and I were flower girl and ring bearer for your wedding. I must be honest and admit my fondest memory of the day was the Davy Crocket watch I received as a gift. Since that time you have given Priscilla and me so much more. Your love for each other as well as your joy of life has given us happiness and wonderful memories to last a lifetime. On behalf of Fred and Lil thank you for being such a wonderful example of two people truly in love.
Happy Anniversary,
John and Priscilla

55 years. I hope you will see many more. Howard and I were lucky to meet you almost 40 years ago when we moved here. Through the years we valued your friendship, and when he passed on you two were there not only with your friendship, but also love and compassion. I will never forget all you have done for me to ease the pain.
Love you both.

Oh my! 55 years....way to go!
A heartwarming memory of you delaying the move to AZ, so I wouldn't be alone when my Dad passed....then, having me invade you in AZ that summer. My Mom told me all about that after the fact.
I still remember a photo of me floating in your AZ pool, and then returning home when my Mom didn't recognize me as I had a really dark tan and hair that was a mere 1/2 inch long !!!!
Happy 55 Mr. & Mrs. Couture!!!!

Mom & Dad,
