Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary, Mom and Pop

Vern and Gail Bean   June 8, 1962


These are my parents when they got married 50 years ago.  Life was was not easy.  She had 4 kids, no child support and was "OLDER" then he.  The wedding was not going to happen, as the Ex had not paid his interlocutory fees to finalize the divorce.  Vern took care of that when he sold his baritone horn to pay those fees off, so they could get married.  Still the wedding was a no frills affair in the yard of his parents house.  They were not able to have a wedding cake or guests.   On their 45th Wedding Anniversary, Gail lovingly bought Vern a brand new baritone horn. 

We will be having a Celebration Dinner in Honor of my parent's  50th Wedding Anniversary on August 4, 2012, in Fresno, California.  It is centrally located and the costs not too high for lodging.  There we will eat, dance, walk down memory lane, and Vern and Gail will finally have a Wedding Cake to replace the one they missed out on 50 years ago.      

We Love you Mom and Pop,  Thank You for your sacrifice, so that your children could have a good life.  You made life worth living and encouraged us when we did not deserve it.   Thank you for encouraging us to determine our own relationship with God then follow that to the fullest.             

 Thank you for NEVER giving up, never loosing HOPE, and ALWAYS being there.  for richer, for poorer.  
In sickness and in health.
