Four Couples Celebrate 50th Wedding Anniversaries Together

Four couples who lived as neighbors in an apartment complex in Ann Arbor, Michigan – a college town just west of Detroit – reunited to celebrate 50 years of marriage to their respective spouses last week. The four couples all attended and graduated from the University of Michigan, and married within two months of each other.

The reunion was nothing new for the friends; they’ve remained close to each other since they were neighbors in 1958. Two of the couples still live in Ann Arbor, and another couple live in a suburb of Detroit, not far away. One pair moved back to their native New York State. Among the couples are four children and nineteen grandchildren, many of whom have become friends on their own.

The couples count each other among their many blessings and believe it is unusual to find so many couples celebrating their 50th wedding anniversaries together, especially having remained so close throughout the years. They vow to gather again next year to celebrate their 51st anniversaries, although according to one of the women, “we’ll all be wearing bibs!”
