Verse help needed please for 50th anniversary

Hi,
I know there are a few talented people on here that are really quick in making up verses for occasions and I would really like your help please,

Its my mum and dads 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary on Sunday and I have collected 50 useful items with a golden theme in a box all individually wrapped and would like a bverse/saying to put on the outside of the box to explain what it is all about!! Hope that makes sense!.

Also we have done a scarpbook/memory album full of photos of them,family and friends throughout the years so a nice little verse to go on the front of that would be great as well.

I would be extremely grateful for your ideas please and thank you in advance.


Love Dora xxxx

    50 years have flown by fast,
    Since you both said, "I do,"
    And wed the special person
    Who meant the world to you.

    And though sometimes, life has been hard
    and things have been quite rough,
    you've stood together, resolute
    whenever times were tough.

    You really are a lesson
    to everyone, you know,
    They say love lasts a lifetime,
    And you two prove it's so!
  • Wow yorkiepud that was quick - thank you very much.

    Can you think of one which includes the 50 golden items in the box?
    Not asking for much am I lol!!!!!!!

  • Hi Rusty
    yes they did, I wrapped each item individually and put in a big brown box so it took them ages to unwrap everything. They really appreciated all the thought that had gone into both the box and the album of photos.
    I dont want to do another one in a hurry though lol.
