This coming Thursday my dear parents are celebrating their 60th, diamond, Anniversary!!! What a huge achievement !! I am so mighty proud of them!
They've had a rough times, like the big flood in Europe in 1953;they lost a baby after 3 years; my mom got multiple sclerosis

But through all these years, they have loved and cared about each other, in good and in bad days! My dad is the best, as he has always taken such good care for my mom. He cooks, does the washing, etc...!
Like I said: I am sooooooo proud of them!!

This coming Thursday there will be a big celebration! First there is a special mass at the church; Dad's brother (my godfather too!) will be the priest. I will read several texts! In fact I prepared the whole mass

Then there willbe a big reception; All their friends and family is invited there!
I made the invitations ! This is the front page:

Then we are all going to a cosy restaurant for a yummie dinner! I will also give a speech there, and give mom and dad the present I made for them:

I hope they will like it!
I will try to make lots of pics! In the meantime, I am proud to present PT some great pics from the past!!

Me too! (everything that she said!

Sixty years is a very long time and there aren't many couples that make it that long, either due to death or divorce

. It sounds like you have some terrific parents which explains why you have turned into such a sweet caring adult. I really enjoyed this glimpse into their past and wish them many happy years ahead. They don't look old enough to be married that long!
