For a 60th wedding anniversary

The great-grandchildren have their say too.

Their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren record messages for the diamond anniversary. The two of them can listen together at the kitchen table, and every word is in the book for reading.

The great-grandchildren

A small child can sing a song or say hello into Mam's phone. An older one can add a photo of a drawing to their message.

2

Their reply

If the two of them want to answer, record them on the same link and their reply goes in the book with everyone else's.

Someone who was at the wedding

A sister-in-law who was at the wedding can tell the story of the day. She can write it if she'd rather.
