It was a special day for our family.
Our beloved aunt and uncle were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.
The celebration was set to be held at The Oriental Hotel in Legazpi, known for its elegant ambiance and warm hospitality.
As we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted by beautiful floral arrangements and soft background music.
The grand ballroom was decorated with banners and photographs spanning their five decades together.
We mingled with family and friends, sharing stories and laughter as we waited for the program to begin.
The event started with heartfelt speeches, recounting their journey, struggles, and triumphs as a couple.
They spoke of the early days, filled with laughter and excitement, as they navigated the ups and downs of young love.
They also reminisced about the financial difficulties to personal differences they faced.
But through it all, they held onto their love for each other, and their commitment to making their relationship work.
After the speeches, there was a dance session.
We watched as they shared a slow dance.
My aunt and uncle sway gently to the rhythm.
Then came the delicious feast — traditional Filipino dishes and a special anniversary cake.
With the aroma of delicious dishes and the flavors, we couldn't help but savor every bite, enjoying the company of those around us and the love that filled the room.
Throughout the evening, we took plenty of photos and created new memories.
This 50th wedding anniversary celebration of my aunt and uncle was a testament to the power of true love.
And a reminder that couples can build a lifetime of happiness together.
Until our next special day... Buh-bye. 👋🫶
