50 years wed

Last weekend we had a 50th Wedding Anniversary to go to. Our friends, Janet and Tony, were celebrating this special occasion with about 40 friends and family at a dinner held at Ridges Hotel, Camperdown.














This is a view from our hotel room.

We arrived at the hotel at about 3pm and checked into our room. Cocktails were not being served until 6.30pm and dinner at 7.30pm so we had time to go for a walk. We thought we would make our way down to Chinatown as somebody had told us you find lots of money around there. We got as far as Broadway and the big shopping centre when Tony had had enough walking and wanted to go for coffee. We had coffee and a look around the centre then made our way back to the hotel for a rest before getting ready for dinner. Tony had brought along a suit to wear but was not sure if he was overdressed. So I had to go downstairs first and check everyone out. I found Janet had the same skirt on as me but it was black so would not be so noticeable. About half had suits on so Tony was ok. The food was delicious. I have enclosed a copy of the menu.



It was like a wedding reception with cake and speeches. Tony and I even said a few words on the microphone. There was dancing and .......there was dancing and at one stage I had the floor to myself. The room was booked to Eleven and people began to disperse either to their hotel rooms, home or on to a night spot. Being the oldies we are we went to our room and saw the last 2 minutes of the South's game which they won in the last 14 seconds. Next morning everyone met up for breakfast at 8.30am and Janet and Terry got a big suprise when they saw their photo in the Sunday Telegraph.
