70th wedding anniversary: stone
A stone in a mountain stream loses its sharp edges over the years until it’s smooth and pleasant to hold. A marriage after seventy years is much the same: old quarrels stopped stinging long ago, and what’s left is the strongest part. A stone like that goes in your pocket as a keepsake, and a story like that gets told to the grandchildren.
