THE DAY WAS SO BEAUTIFUL it seemed to have been made for a garden party. The new formal garden, where the reception was held, was gay with spring borders and with fabulous quantities of yellow roses in pots and baskets sent by friends. East of the garden the canyon slope was carpeted with golden California poppies…Perhaps the greatest satisfaction of the day to father and mother was in having all of their children and grandchildren with them. - Mary Marston, on her parents' 50th wedding anniversary celebration.
