50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY GIFT FROM THE FAMILY

An Excerpt from a 50th Wedding Anniversary Gift from the Family

Celebrating Joan and Bob

The centre of this portrait is a circle to represent just how perfectly Joan and Bob create a warm, inviting and generous whole. Picture lively conversation with loved ones around the dinner able and you get an idea of the essence of this couple. On the one hand this life affirming circle is built upon shared values, shared faith and a strong foundation anchored in dedication to family and friends. On the other hand the circle is strengthened by the differing gifts and contributions of these two independent individuals. The arbutus tree captures the resilience and beauty of the North West coast and the beauty and resilience of this marriage.

Symbols of the four directions are there to represent the move across the country and the strong family bonds that stretch from East to West. Around the perimeter of the central image more symbols capture just some of the colour and exciting energy of life with Bob and Joan.
