Near the registry table was the original wedding gown and the original white sport coat worn on their wedding day. Also the dress she wore on the 25th anniversary and the blue suit he wore on the 25th anniversary.

The cake table also laid in white cloth, held a three-tiered off-white frosted cake decorated with pink roses and the "50" in gold.
