recently in Dodge City, Kan., with a weekend of events in observance of their
Golden wedding anniversary.
The celebration, arranged by the couple's
daughter, Mrs. Judy Wagner Colgin of Dodge City, and their son, David Wagner, El
Paso, Texas, opened Feb. 11 with a family dinner that also marked the 69
birthday of Kenneth Wagner and the 14th birthday of Cyndy Colgin, the Wagners'
granddaughter.
Jack Colgin, husband of Judy and daughter, Christi were
also present for the events.
A 5:30 p.m. candlelight ceremony Feb. 12
in the First United Methodist Church of Dodge City was arranged at which Mr. and
Mrs. Wagner reaffirmed their marriage vows spoken 50 years earlier.
The
Rev. Louis Gant offficiated the service using the marriage vows exactly as they
were written in the Discipline of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1930 and
used when the Wagners were married in Jay by the Rev. W. B. Wolfe on Feb. 14,
1933.
The service included an introductory message from the Wagners'
children and grandchildren and a specially selected scripture reading "Lessons
of Love" from I Corinthians.
The bride followed the wedding tradition
of something old, a small New Testament Bible given by the Wagners to their
daughter in 1959; something new, a gold locket received as a gift from their
daughter-in-law and three grandchildren of El Paso; something borrowed, a garter
worn by their daughter in her wedding; and something blue, appearing as blue
flowers in a bridal bouquet featuring yellow roses.
The bride and
bridegroom wore a corsage and boutonnier, respectively, of yellow rosebuds
accented with baby's breath and golden trim and ribbon.
The couple's
children served as best man and matron of honor for the reaffirmation
service.
Following their service, Mr. and Mrs. Wagner were taken to Dee
Jays, a private club and restaurant in Dodge City, where a four-course dinner
was served.
The couple's children had also reserved for their parents a
bridal suite at the Holiday Inn, which had been decorated in a dual Valentine's
Day and Golden Anniversary motif.
Reading material was provided in the
form of hand-written pages, tied together with golden ribbon, listing "50
Reasons for Loving You on Your 50th Wedding Anniversary" presented to them by
Judy and David.
The Wagners had also been provided with a video
cassette as a gift from their grandchildren, Terri, David and Jeffry of El Paso,
expressing their congradulations and greetings.
A "Memory Book" was
presented to the couple that was filled with congratulatory cards and letters
from relatives and friends, with whom the couple had shared experiences through
the years.
At the family dinner Sunday, the Wagners were presented with
a wood-framed anniversary clock trimmed in gold with a shadow box style print of
the wedding vows that had been repeated at the wedding ceremony. A gold
bar at the base read "Kenneth and Rosalie, Feb. 14, 1983".
Enroute
home, the Wagners stopped in Tulsa to visit Mrs. Alice Rust, sister of Mrs.
Wagner, who, along with her husband, the late Jimmy Rust, served as attendants
at the Wagners' wedding in 1933.
Also present for that ceremony 50
years ago were the late Arthur Wagner, brother of Kenneth, and his wife, Jesse,
now residing in
