I’ve had a lovely morning - video calls from all the dc, one of whom is
also coming over for a garden visit later. Flowers delivered from Dh and also the delivery in the pic from dd2. Totally fooled Dh - he thought they were real flowers! Some talented people out there. smile

Belated Congratulations

Hope that you both had a wonderful time on the day.
This is splendid news when so many marriages founder for various reasons.
Enjoy the years and experience that are to come.

It all sounds wonderful Katek and those cakes certainly had me fooled as well! Congratulations to you both ?

Happy Ruby Anniversary, forty years, where did they go? I can tell you from experience that now is the time to start planning the golden one.

You will turn around, cough twice and the next thing you know it's 2010 and you'll be posting:
Today is our golden wedding anniversary. So just enjoy.
A very happy anniversary to you both.

KateK Congratulations. It sounds as though you've had a nice day.

My ruby wedding anniversary was in May - we had a few days booked in Scarborough, but that was cancelled, of course. Instead, we went for a walk around a country park with our eldest son and his 2 children, and we had cake when we got back.

Thanks for all your good wishes - much appreciated. We’ve actually had a very memorable and fun day despite restrictions. Dd1 and dgd appeared with take out lunch from local hotel - sandwich (without crusts!) scones with jam and cream, cakes and chocolates. Very delicious! We sat outside in what we call the Special Chairs. (Will find pic) She also delivered the family gift which was a Portal- a device you connect to your tv and allows messenger, What’sApp calls onto your tv screen so your callers’ pics are much bigger. Does other things as well but still working my way through the manual! We made arrangements for the three of them to video call at 7.30 but when we got the call there was my entire family and my two closest friends! It was such good fun - we certainly won’t forget this anniversary. I actually think that this has been more memorable than going out for family meal. Now tired out!

Congratulations!

Ours is in November, and we had booked a mini break, but I suspect that won't be happening now.

Happy Ruby Anniversary Mr & Mrs KateK. What amazing cakes. Enjoy!!

Kalu Sun 04-Oct-20 13:59:16

Many congratulations on your Ruby anniversary Katek ?????. Quite a milestone isn’t it. ?

I was about to admire your beautiful bouquet of what I thought were real flowers too. Well done your DD in sourcing such a beautiful bouquet as this.

No matter where or how you enjoy your day, to be happily together today is what counts. I hope you both have a wonderful day.

Jane10 Sun 04-Oct-20 13:46:47

Many congratulations Katek. What a shame you can't celebrate it with a proper family party. You still though after Covid.
We had a buffet lunch on our 40th with as many red/pink items of food as we could think of. That was fun. The DGSs loved it. They had ham, beetroot and strawberry jelly!

Susan56 Sun 04-Oct-20 13:42:45

Happy anniversary to you both??

Squiffy Sun 04-Oct-20 13:14:36

Happy Anniversary MrandMrsKatek! Hope you enjoy your day. The flowers are absolutely beautiful, so clever.

Puzzler61 Sun 04-Oct-20 12:40:34

Oh, they are divine! but I would feel like you - they look too pretty to bite into.
