My Parents' 50th Anniversary

Leanne - thanks for your help. This is what I had printed up as a 5x7.

My parents had their 50th Wedding Anniversary this summer. They had a reception at their home that my brothers and sisters planned. It turned out great! We had different brothers and sisters in charge of different aspects - decorations, food, etc. My sister, Lynda and I were in charge of the program. I should say I assisted my sister with the program. We put together a 45 minutes presentation of our parent's life portrayed as a fairy tale - princes and princesses, kindgoms, crowns, and all. The grandchildren acted as my parents, as their parents, their brothers and sisters, their friends, missionary companions, etc. Those who acted as my parents were supposed to wear the silver crowns (some of them forgot). My sister compiled music from my parents life and also wrote a lot of original music for the program. My kids played the following parts:


Emily: part of the wedding party. Chelsea and Logan were Grandma and Grandpa. Chelsea wore Grandma's wedding dress and Logan sang, "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life" to her - just like my dad did at their reception.
Scotty: a young Paul (my brother) with my sister Jean, acting as my mother teaching piano. Scotty played "Mockin' Bird Hill" on the piano, then Krystle (Lynda) played it on the violin, and then the Price family sang it just like we used to as young children.



Brian: a young "Prince Lynn" catching a sucker fish with his sister Faye. (Brian wants to be Prince Lynn for Halloween).
Anna: my dad's siter Faye catching the sucker fish with Prince Lynn in the ditch.



Maren and Jonny: Princess Jeanine and Prince Lynn on the day they met at the office of the registrar at Rick's College. They performed a waltz to the song, "Fascinataion." (It was one of my favorite parts of the program - but I couldn't be biased at all.)
