Mary Jo Burke | Pure Gold

For two couples, my aunt and uncle and my brother and sister-in-law, this is a milestone year. Both will be celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversaries. Truly a lifetime together, their names are one word. The ups, downs, and all arounds have filtered through their relationships. Loss of parents, friends, and siblings. The arrival of children, grandchildren, moving away and back, job fluctuations, illness, and retirement, their wedding vows have been tested.

Both are having celebrations. The invitations listed that no gifts are necessary, just share a memory or two. Where to start, they’re everywhere. My aunt made my wedding veil, her children are my second set of siblings, and she took me to Ireland. My brother was my trick-or-treating buddy, taught me how to drive, and laughed at my jokes. Their significant others keep our family as sane as possible, which is a major task.

Most romance books start with the first encounter. Hate to love, rekindled interest, a bright spark lit between them. In real life, it’s the lasting looks, smiles, even blushes that morph into a true partnership. No map, just a road with many forks, knives, and other utensils that the couple must navigate together. All contributing to a wonderful roller coaster ride.

Happy Anniversary to them and happily ever after to those who continue to seek.
