How did your love story begin?

Our love story began on May 23, 1975, and has been growing more resilient with each passing day. We started our family with the arrival of our first child in December 1976, and we're now proud parents of four children, 15 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandson. Each year together has deepened our love, and I'm thankful to have him as my partner in life. We've built a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure, and we're grateful for every moment.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

The day we exchanged our vows was an unforgettable experience. It was a day overflowing with love and warmth. The birth of our children marked another momentous occasion, and watching them mature into remarkable adults has been a source of immense pride. Our grandchildren have further enriched our lives with their love. Family has always been and continues to be the cornerstone of our existence. The combination of hard work and love has enabled our relationship to flourish with each passing day.

What would you do with $20,000?

Several alternatives exist for spending this money, maybe a quick vacation for a few days. Just for starters! Fifty years only happens once.
