In a shiny golden Hallmark book engraved with their names and wedding date (barely visible in the lower right corner), Mable carefully kept a record of all those who attended the party as well as all those who sent or brought gifts. "Golden" gifts were plentiful - including gold towels, gold smocked pillows, a gold bedspread and numerous commemorative gold 50th anniversary plates.
What a joyous day of celebration for Jesse and Mable.
