“A Forever Love”

From the moment you two first met
It was love at first sight
It seemed as though nothing else in the world mattered
Together everything felt so right

You completed one another
Two souls became one
As you embark on a journey through life together
You’ll forever bet eternally bonded
With a never ending love

Each day will be an adventure
Some days better than others
But these obstacles are little tests of life
Faced by all lovers

Many people spend their whole lives
Searching for that special someone
With hard work, honesty & love
Your intertwined souls will never come undone

We wish you the best of luck
On this new life you’ve created
The day has finally come
And for so long we’ve waited

So as we raise our glasses for this toast
We wish you the best of luck on 
You’re new life
As from this day on
You will forever be husband and wife

“Through The Years”

It all began at the Stylon Corporation
In Milford, Mass back in 1955
When Larry & Ellie met
For the very first time

It was love at first sight
Nobody can deny
Larry’s heart would skip a beat
Every time that Ellie would walk by

Everyone knew she was coming
They could hear her high heels
from a mile away
Larry made jokes with all the guys
Said he would make her his bride one day

She fell for his big blue eyes
& We all knew why he fell for her
It wasn't just the high heels
& it wasn't just her skirt 

He finally worked up the nerve
& Asked her to join him for a  night on the town
They ended up at the Totem Pole in
Noram Bega park
Where they danced like no one else was around

It wasn’t but eight months later
When he presented her with a ring
Graciously she accepted
Unknowing of what their new life together would bring

It was the 12^th of October In 1956
When their two souls intertwined
They then set off to the Berkshires
For their honeymoon
& Made it through a couple chilly nights

As their family grew larger
They needed more space to live
That’s when they moved
To the large grey stucco home on the corner of
Rivulet Street in Uxbridge 

They’ve shared a million laughs
They’ve seen some rainy days too
But looking back now
It’s amazing how the time flew

Here they stand before us
Celebrating 50 years together
Creating another memory to be remembered forever

Love,
Dave, Lauren, Nate, Ben, and Matt

“Vinalhaven”

It’s a special place we love to go
Where so many memories have been made
Nestled on an Island just of the coast
Lays Vinalhaven Maine

On the shoreline sits a yellow house
You can see Phoenix from afar
She’ll bring you anywhere you want to go
To the sun, moon, or stars

From childhood to the present day
It’s always been my favorite destination
It’s more than a gathering place for our family
It’s more than a relaxing vacation

It’s a place to bush the hands of mother nature
A landing pad for the soul to rejuvenate
Its brilliant beauty paints the perfect picture
On any given day

It’s a place I hold dear to my heart
Eternally for all of time
It’s a gift sent to us from the Heavens
Just off the Maine coastline
