Golden Wedding Anniversary Celebration - 10th May 2009

(Please do not fail to view young James's photo album below titled
Golden Wedding Anniversary "Memories of the last 50 years").

Dear Joe & Genny

Thank you for inviting us to join you in celebrating your Golden Anniversary with your family and close friends.

Your children certainly did you proud in planning this memorable fabulous occasion which went with a bang from start to finish.

We cannot fail to comment that the dinner was most delicious and all the management and staff members of the 'An Nam Vietnamese' restaurant were friendly and most obliging. "A perfect venue". I do not think anyone will forget all the Champagne and drinks flowing right through.

Though there were unlimited photographers taking video and photos, my little candid camera captured some of the action, and as a token of rememberance I have put together a Photo Album which can be viewed on the link below.

Best wishes to you and your wonderful family, and looking forward to your 60th celebration.

Love
Benito & Betty

Dear friends, please oblige and send me some of your photographs you have taken which I would like to add to my photo album as I also plan to produce a DVD for Joe & Genny as a special gift. My email address is bvents@aol.com
Many thanks - Benny

During the course of the celebrations we all enjoyed an action packed programme conducted by MC Jeremy who certainly did a grand job. One of the items included a great quiz associated to Joe and Genny which I have copied below for good friends to have a go and see how many questions you can get right. We were also entertained by some of J & G's grandchildren - "Dancing girls in Cabaret".

Talk of young talent, please view the wonderful slideshow produced by young James (J & G's grandson). He certainly did a superb job by presenting a wonderful slideshow in Power Point viewed by all guests during the celebration.

Unfortunately I could not release James's Power Point presentation on my blog and as such have added his photos on my Kodak Gallery album.
