65th Anniversarys!

Unbelievable...who would have known, that both my grandparents (Grandma and Grandpa Bergsma) and Josh's grandparents (Grandma and Grandpa Ryskamp) would both celebrate their 65th wedding Anniversary in the same week of each other! And we were lucky enough to be able to celebrate such a remarkable moment with both of them.

When you look back at what they have experienced in those 65 years together, it is amazing. Both of our grandpas served in WWII and each had 4 daughters (with my mom being the oldest of her sisters, and Josh's mom being the oldest of her sisters). There are 8 grandchildren for my grandparents, 7 grandchildren for Josh's grandparents, 6 great-grandchildren for my grandparents, 8 great-grandchildren for Josh's grandparents!

They both have epitomized the basis of family and marriage. We have respect and admiration for their commitment to each of us.

We love you,
lis and josh, aves and irelyn
