Rick and Tamara's 50th Wedding Anniversary

This was the dessert table which was later filled with a chocolate mousse cake, cheese cake, and the original type of cake served at Rick and Tamara's wedding (I forgot the name of it right now)

The book of memories and pictures we presented to them
All the grandchildren sang "Families can be Together Forever"
Rick and Tamara waiting in the Visitor's Center before going on their carriage ride around temple square.  It was a dream come true for Tamara, but for Rick, in his own words, "I am like a lamb to the slaughter."  I'm sure he had fun.  Doesn't he look like he is having fun:-)  Anything for Tamara.
What an amazing couple.  I have only known them since 2002, but I feel as though I have known them forever and always had a place in their hearts.  What love and compassion these two have for all those around them.  I have personally felt of this love and have been touched by their selfless sacrifice.  Thanks for setting the example of what marriage and life is really all about.
