The
Natvigs: A Golden Anniversary
September 20, 2014
At Rooftop, we are so fortunate to be
a part of the beginning of so many couple’s marriages. We get to see the big
white dress and first dance, and hear toasts and blessings that are wished upon
the happy couple during the one of the most important days of their lives—their
wedding day.
We love love, and celebrating the marriage
of two people, which is why we were so excited when Curtis and Irma Natvig decided
to host their 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration with us. For many
of our couples, we are celebrating the beginning, but with the Natvigs, we not
only were able to celebrate the beginning, but also all of the moments over the
last fifty years that got them to today.
We met with Curtis and Irma to
discuss the theme for the event, and the answer so fun! “We want it romantic
and simple, and to dance! All of our friends from our dancing class will be
there, and we want a really nice, fun event where we can all dance.”
In recent years, Curtis and Irma
began taking ballroom dancing classes together and discovered a true love for
the art. We helped enlist the services of United Party Rentals to supply the
wooden dance floor for their event, and Irma, along with the help of their
children, put together beautiful centerpieces with romantic, red roses and
candles.
Our favorite part, though, was the
various shapes and sizes of ivory and yellow paper lanterns that hung from the
ceiling during the event. It allowed for a soft, romantic glow above everyone
as they celebrated the Natvigs and their marriage.
During a meeting prior to the event,
we asked Curtis and Irma their advice on how to make a marriage last for fifty
years. Their answer? Laugh a lot and make sure you love the person, even when
you may not like them. That sounds good enough to us!
Congratulations
to the Natvigs!
