A 60-Year Love Story (and the Ornament That Helped Celebrate It)

Jeff and I are celebrating 23 years of marriage this month—how did that happen so quickly? As I reflect on our journey, I’m struck by how each year has shaped our story in its own quiet, beautiful way.

Recently, I had the joy of creating a 60th wedding anniversary ornament for a couple celebrating an incredible milestone. Sixty years! The husband reached out ahead of time to make sure it would arrive before they left for their anniversary getaway at The Inn at Christmas Place in the Smoky Mountains. His message after receiving the ornament made my heart melt:

“Amy, the 60th Anniversary ornament just arrived and my wife loves it so much. THANK YOU!!!! We are spending the week of our Anniversary at The Inn at Christmas Place in the Smoky Mountains and every room has a Christmas Tree. The ornament will be on our tree while we are there.”

Moments like this remind me why I started Firefly Wishes in the first place. Whether it’s one year or sixty, each chapter of love deserves to be celebrated and remembered.

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to mark your anniversary—or honor your parents or grandparents—I offer ornaments for years 1 through 10, and milestone years like 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, and 60.
