SusieB50 a happy Golden Wedding anniversary to you today.
I hope the sun is shining and you enjoy reminiscing over the many years you and your husband spent together.
Maybe you'd like to tell us about one of the holidays you normally took at this time?

Thank you all - the fizz will be flowing ? ?

I too will raise a glass to you both tomorrow on your special day; hopefully you will draw some comfort from golden memories of your life together. You are not alone ??

Thank you “MawBe” a lovely saying . We had good times and bad but now only remember the good ones ,which is good . Both my AC and their families are busy tomorrow , they may remember but I don’t want to nudge them as they will feel bad they can’t be with me . My sister may remember and phone me as she was my bridesmaid.

I will raise a glass for you you must have lots of precious memories.??

If we may a glass will be raised here to you both tomorrow susieb50. Perhaps as maw suggests a gentle reminder to family, their loving if distant support will then be with you. Sending love.

I am so sorry that your dear husband is not by your side on this precious day but you hold so many precious memories and you know what it is to be loved over a lifetime. You have been of huge significance to your husband and although his loss has bought you sadness you have known real love. Thinking of you and I will raise a glass to you. ??

Please let us share your day tomorrow- there are many here to keep you company. You need not be alone.

I will be happy to raise a glass to you ?
Just because you lost him last year does not wipe out the many (I hope) happy years you spent together. It’s not the wedding, it’s the marriage
Ours “was” last summer, DH died in November 2017 but I still consider myself married to him.
I organised a family lunch in the garden,(it rained, but so it did on our wedding day, and blew a gale) I included my bridesmaids, (his sisters ) although I did not in fact invite DH’s best man as I wanted it just to be the extended family.
There was and is much to celebrate.
I hope your family will remember (perhaps a gentle nudge?) but it is really about the 2 of you and the years you had together.
There is a Jewish saying
“Say not in grief that he is no more
But live in thankfulness that he was”

Tomorrow would have been our golden wedding anniversary.
My DH died nearly 18 months ago so no celebration. We never really did much with the family for our WA but usually had a holiday around this time . So I doubt if anyone will remember except me . Feeling sad and lonely tonight . I will buy some flowers tomorrow I think, and raise a glass.
