Three years ago My Grandma and Grandpa Schiess celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary, and this summer so did my Grandma and Grandpa Ripplinger. Back then (3 years ago) I didn't blog so I thought I'd say a little something here about both...
First off, holy moly- 50 year anniversaries!!! How amazing is that!! I'm such a lucky girl (FOR SOOOOO many reasons) but I have 4 awesome examples of marriage, friendship, happiness, stickin together. I love my grandparents and am so glad they had my parents, raises them how they did and are awesome examples too me.
Well, this summer I made another trip out to Utah (big year for events in Utah=trips home for me!! thanks Jen for coming home from a mission, Brit for getting married and G&G for making it 50 years!)For G&G Ripplinger's Anniversary, my sister Kylee made a three layer cake... She did an Aaaawesome job... Seriously, she had some help, but check it out.
We get a little excited and sometimes go a bit overboard----and this celebration was more like a reception.... how pretty is this...
She made the cake and then froze the layers for 2 days
She made the roses the week before, full roses, and little buds...
How amazing is this!! is She?!?

My grandma saved her shoes from her wedding, and flowers from her bouquet and her garter.
My uncle did an awesome job MCing.
Then each of their kids's families did some sort of talent....
I have to say our song didn't go well, we sang the Hawaiian Wedding Song ( heard it for the first time the night before), not my best moment, but a beautiful song that was sung at their reception.
Then we danced the night away... wish Brandon could be there. But it was an awesome night. How cute are these two?!?
Happy 50th!!
