I'm looking for quotes, passages or saying that would be appropraite for a 50th wedding anniversary where vows will be renewed. Bits about family and grandkids etc. would be along the lines of what I need. Any ideas?

When you first got married you were young and stupid, and now that you're old and senile you've decided to do it all over again. J/K. Unfortunately, of all the movies I have pretty much memorized and books I've read I'm coming up blank. Only advice I can offer is say how lucky they are they've found a love strong enough to last through years and trials of life. It's seems kind of rare to see that now a days.

love and marraige. love and marraige.
it's an institute you can't disparage.
ask the local gentry
and they will say it's elementary.

love at first sight is easy to understand: it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle. - i have no idea who said that.

Paul Sweeney
A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year.

Felix Adler
Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include as the other, each is enriched by the other.

Erich Fromm
Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.

Pearl S. Buck
A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.

James Thurber
Love is what you've been through with somebody.

Vincent van Gogh
Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence.

Anonymous
Moonlight and roses are bound to fade for every lover and every maid but the bond that holds in any weather is learning how to laugh.

Newlyweds become 'oldyweds', and 'oldyweds' are the reasons that families work.

Love is like an earthquake-unpredictable, a little scary, but when the hard part is over you realize how lucky you truly are.

I liked many of them ^^^ that I saw when I looked up anniversary quotes but I'm looking for something more about families/marriage. And possibly a short passage as opposed to a short quip. But thanks for the suggestions.

might work...if you could work something in about family too.
