Just fifty years since that day when
Two young lives were joined into one;
Two young hearts looked happily forward
To a life filled with joy and with sun!

That joy has been mixed with some sadness
That sun has been spangled by rain.
But all through the years we’ve grown closer
And echoed that young love’s refrain.

The friends that we’ve made we’ve cherished
As some of the joys that were the best,
And hope that this happy occasion
Will with their presence be blessed.

Please come and help polish the memories
You share of the days gone before.
Let this be the gift that you bring then
When you come as a friend to the door.
