Couples from different countries, raised from different culture, married twice or five times or more, celebrate anniversaries. After your actual wedding day, the first anniversary would be the sweetest. As years go by, wedding anniversaries may be characterized by some other attributes like “he forgot it”, “she was out of the country”, “we are too busy to celebrate” and sometimes, a reaction as vague as “Oh!”

As you count years in your marriage, your parents grow older and celebrations of wedding anniversaries may or may not become the first thing on their mind. For all you know, they may not have experienced a prepared formal wedding that you had especially if they were a product of elopement or some circumstances that limits their capacity to afford such a wedding. As they grow older, the things that you were excited about may excite them but not with the same vigor you have. Time has robbed them of energy and gave them grandchildren to be busied about. They may not even plan to celebrate a wedding anniversary at 50 due to their urinary incontinence. It may only be characterized by sipping soy milk as they hold hands at the front porch.

But then, a 50th wedding anniversary is not something that you can just shrug off. What better gift the old-timers would receive than a wedding that they didn’t had or a chance to relive the day they tied the knot. If your parents have experienced a formal wedding, then you can have a much simpler wedding. It is exciting to plan for our parents who was not able to experience the wedding ceremony they hoped for. Secure the cooperation of your parents’ siblings to chip in, or your cousin’s contribution to plan a simple but carefully planned wedding event.

The wedding attire ensemble can be assigned to one of your sisters who can easily get around to convincing your mom and dad to have their measurements taken for a wedding which they will attend. You can always tell them that it’s imperative that they attend it. Of course, your sister will take care of how her act can convince the couple. Invitation can be computerized and printed on specialty paper. A number of lay outs are available via the web and that would not be a difficult task. Guests should be limited to close family members. A simple pot-luck can be arranged or if your budget permits, a caterer can be called in with a simple yet delicious array of food packages.

Of course, do not forget the wedding cake. A wedding cake does not need to be three-layered or extravagant. Something that is appetizingly prepared, yet projects elegance and wisdom are some of the principles that you can apply in choosing and deciding for their wedding cake. Colors for a golden wedding ceremony is of gold and violet for flowers. Simple accents can give the cake its glow and this also includes the wedding cake topper. Do not discount the significance of the bride and groom cake toppers. It announces how your parents reached an amazing 50 years of togetherness in the time of shifting ideals of the modern world. And I believe this will be the only memento left, aside from the pictures from photo album and memories stored by your brain. It may or may not serve to remind you to stay true to your marriage vows but it will definitely remind you of the great love your parents have for each other, long after they are gone.
