Today, Vicki, one of our volunteer chaplains, led this morning's 9.30am prayer. We were told that it was the 55th anniversary of her marriage to John.
On this special occasion we congratulate them on their faithfulness to each other and hope that they are able to celebrate the love that they share.
Thank you Vicki for all that you have given so generously to Mildmay.
God bless you, John and your lovely family. Bernie and the Chaplaincy Team
Both the traditional and modern representation of the 55-year anniversary is emerald. The deep green gemstone is known to symbolise eternity and commitment, which makes perfect sense for a marriage of this length.

After all the excitement, you both deserve a little downtime to relax and enjoy each other's company. If you’re looking for the best place to go on vacation, somewhere peaceful and luxurious, I recommend a serene retreat by the sea. Taking time to rest and recharge after such a big celebration will give you the perfect start to your married life. May your journey together be as beautiful as your wedding day!
