Surprise 40th Anniversary

My best friend Helen and her husband Ben were blown away last night when their daughter Karmi, who is 7 months pregnant with their first granddaughter, surprised them with a wonderful bay view dinner. They didn't have a clue that their closest friends would be there to celebrate with them. 40 years is something to celebrate!
Here is Helen being greeted by our dear friend Lakshmi who lives in Utah (now that was a big surprise).

This is long time friend Irene and her husband Marsh being greeted.

This is an important picture. Ben is explaining how simple a wedding they had. Ben claims the church did everything and it cost almost nothing. Helen was rolling her eyes and was thinking "It was simple for Ben, but not for me." Oh...... The memories!
Here we are. What a great evening. Happy Anniversary Helen and Ben
