Oh Debi,
This post slipped by me! It is so sweet and fun!! I would love to have been a fly on the door of your limo and watched the fun! But, then I sort of was as I got to read your retelling.

Love the bit about you having 50 years to rehearse. So clever!

Love you much, lady!
Rhonda

Oh what a thrill to do something extra special to mark your anniversary and to share the occasion with good friends. I love the fun of your role playing and I'm sure Corey took it in good part. Your excitement fairly fizzles off the page. It's contagious too; lifts my mood like a virtual flute of champagne!

All those who applauded your red carpet entrances recognized that you and your group were the award winning stars of your own movies.

May you and your spouse have many delightful adventures as you celebrate more years of wedded bliss!

Blessings, Julia

Debi, congrats on the 50 -year anniversary. It sounds like you had fun on your special day.
I only had one limo ride in my life, going to the church for my brother's wedding. Sadly, he and his wife won't make it to 50 years--divorced.
The photo is nice, and there really was a red carpet!
Wishing you and your husband many more wonderful anniversaries!
Best wishes,
Cindy

Debi, that's awesome. I'm glad you had such a good time. It's hard to find good limo drivers that cater to their customers. Only four of my twenty drivers were as caring as Corey. I owned two limousine company's with 20 cars for a few years and when you find a good driver, you don't let him or her go.

    You know one of our friends who was on our outing is the City Administrator of Buffalo, MN and she got the limo for us. I have a feeling she has sent this story to him already, so if it would be ok with you, I would love to send your review to him as well.

    I don't know if he worked for someone or if he owned it himself, but yes, I agree that it made such a difference in our day. The money spent was well worth the wonderful memories we will have for the rest of our days. And it was part about the fun that Corey made for us, and the other part being the experience of the limo.

    That's pretty cool that you owned two companies, and I am sure you made a lot of people happy in those days. Thanks so much for reading my story and for letting me know about your companies.

    What a remarkable business that must be. It must feel good to make people happy, as I am sure your good drivers must have brought that kind of joy to their customers as we had.
    Thanks again, Thesis. You told a pretty awesome story too. Big smile!
    Love, Debi

Great looking limo, Debi. I loved your story. It's funny, but I will refer to people like Corey as James, too, but I've never had an occasion to. This was a great idea and it made celebrating 150 years of marriage an award winning night. How wonderful that people would cheer, and ask your names. Corey was wonderful, and really did things up for you. I think you are right in your paragraph about how you all felt as opposed to Academy Award winners and celebrities. A very good closing line, as well. This is something you all will remember. Congratulations again!!

    Awe, thank you, Pam. Oh, so you got the part about James. I wondered if I was the only one who felt that all the limo drivers in the movies were called James.

    I would recommend that to anyone who had a special celebration.
    It was so much fun and we will remember it all the rest of our days.
    I appreciate your lovely detailed words.

    You are very welcome, Debi. I've not gone in a limo, but it is fun to think about those who serve, like in Downton, for example. I wonder where the James reference started.

Congratulations to you all.

Chuckled at the comparison looks, from shredded cheese in meatloaf to a stretch limo. 50 years deserves to be celebrated and you three couples celebrated with fun and the love of friendship through the years. Beautifully told, Debi.
cheers,
valda

A very nice summary of this very special excursion, Debi! Fifty Years married is an amazing blessing, and it's even more special to be able to do it up in style with two couples like yourself and Glen who've made it to the Golden Anniversary!

I've never been in a Limo...but it was a fun idea to go "whole hog" and the red carpet and "announcement" of the special "celebrities" was an over-the-top special memory you'll cherish forever...

Just my opinion of course, but those cold little Oscars must not be very warm and comforting when it's time for dreamland. Act like it's the Academy Awards and then you and Glen get to take one another home as the best "trophy" ever!

I wish you many more years of health and happiness.

Karenina

    Thanks Sweetie for the fun review for our limo and red carpet experiences.
    We will remember this for years to come. Yes, 50 years to rehearse for the a leading but difficult role. LOL

    And I just wanted to let you know that I changed that line about the party supporting abortion. I wrote, "That it is alright to abort." I appreciate you pointing that out to me. Thanks again. Love, Debi

    I saw the change. I like it!

    And so glad you had a fun anniversary "Limo Adventure!"

What a fabulous way to celebrate your anniversary with friends! I'm sure the 150 total years of marriage made quite an impression on those gathered at the restaurant. I love the red carpet idea. Corey sounds like a terrific person. Congrats again, and thanks for sharing.
