Ollie and Ellie have had 5 children and now look at their family! The family of 7 quickly turned into a family of 22. They wanted to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with their children and grand children in the Smoky Mountains. They stayed at the Moose Hollow Lodge and in junction to the cabin was a beautiful chapel for their ceremony.

The ceremony was performed by their son in law and the kids walked their parents down the aisle.

Ollie and Ellie exchanged their vows and they were so cute kissing each other at every chance they could.

Each one of the 5 children came up to tell them something that their parents taught them. They each had stories to tell and lessons they learned from their parents.

Ollie wrote Ellie a wonderful poem. It wasn’t like anything I have ever heard. He told in a poem how they met and all the adventures they had in their marriage, all with rhyming and humor!!

They then exchanged a rose and a piece of pottery. Their ceremony was sweet and very touching. They have a wonderful family! Afterwards they had food, dancing, and drinks! I am sure they partied all night! I wish you guys another 50 years of happily ever after!
