Barb and Randy's 40th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

 

My brother Randy and his wife Barb recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. 

 

 

 

  To commemorate this special occasion they went on a cruise to the Caribbean just as they did on their honeymoon . Their two sons Kevin and Tim and daughter in law Pauline hosted a small dinner party July 20th at a French restaurant to honor this milestone anniversary for their parents.

 

  

 In attendance was my brother’s best man Sheldon (childhood friend) and his wife Naomi (Brides best friend). 

 

 

Also in attendance bridesmaid Susie (Barbs sister) and her husband Larry. 

 

 

The symbol for the 40th anniversary is the ruby.  So Susie made the decorations for the table with "ruby" origami boxes with chocolate hearts and ruby red roses.
