For 25 years of married bliss, much silver did you store, and then you reached your 40th with ruby stones galore!

You traveled through life to 50 years of happy wedded bliss.

Your treasure grew with golden gifts to toast your happiness.

And now you’ve reached that special day, that’s only

seen by few, 65 years together, now blue sapphires for both of you.

But the treasure that you value most isn’t jewels, silver or gold, but the love you have for each other that has never grown old.
