Celebrating 50 Years of Marriage!


Ian & Brenda Ludgate

In '73, fate had a plan
It was in Hamilton their love began
Brenda met Ian, sparks in the air
A story unfolding, a love so rare

One year later, Kirkland Lake, they wed
With vows written by hearts that led

By '79, in Blind River, they stayed
In Forrest Glen, a home they made
One of twelve houses, their roots grew deep
In this small town, promises they’d keep

Brenda’s kindness, the food bank her care
Many years volunteering, she’s always there
In twenty-thirteen, Ian showed his devotion
After the mall fell, he set things in motion
Honoring deeds, a proud legacy
With handshakes, smiles, and a Queen's Jubilee

Four children blessed their lives with cheer
Through ups and downs, year after year
Now seven grandkids fill their days
With laughter, hockey, and musical plays

Together they’ve danced at concerts throughout
With many more to talk about
Now it’s Grandad in the garden, tending it with care,
Sunlight on his shoulders, a breeze in the air.
Hands worn with wisdom, planting seeds of old,
With whispers of earth, stories not told.

And Grandmum, it’s true, still putters about
She keeps the home cozy, with plants throughout
Baking with care and a steady glow,
Every room feels the warmth, an ongoing show

Through ups and downs, they’ve both stayed strong
A love like theirs, pure and lifelong
Now fifty years, a golden hue
We feel we must congratulate you

Here's to many more years, side by side
With family, travel, and joy as you stride

Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary Brenda & Ian Ludgate!

~Love your family & friends!
