The spouses had to choose one of three proposed items: a blade, dough, rope.

For me there is nothing more precious than the light of your eyes!

And you, my husband, helped me in everything,
Over all these years you have recognized me,
Sometimes grumpy, sometimes bitchy,
Sometimes it’s not easy for you to be with me...
But I love you very, very much!
We will celebrate our Steel wedding!
I'll finish my toast by sipping some wine.
Our love with you has an eternal motive!..

From parents

***
For you, we, dear children,
We would like to make our toast!
At least for 11 years of life
Your family path was not easy,
Still, there were a lot of joys,
And happiness splashes over the edge!
Son, come quickly to your husband
Kiss and hug tightly!
And you, daughter, don’t be embarrassed,
Fall into his arms!
After all, the Steel Wedding is not the result,
And the Golden one is ahead!

***
Today you are newlyweds,
Eleven years gone!
Harnessed to one team,
Together you are not afraid of rain,
Not a blizzard will destroy your marriage,
No gossip and no everyday life...
And they echo the unison of the souls,
When the baby is sleeping in the crib!
For you, children, I raise
Wineglass! And I drink it to the dregs!
Love is more intoxicating
Than even the aroma of wine...
I wish you to be forever drunk,
Don't sober up for a moment!
And everyone is zealously in the race of life
Achieved harmony in the family!
