Mayor Walsh to Toast Boston Couples Celebrating 50 Years of Marriage

On Monday, Dec. 8 Mayor Walsh and the Commission on Affairs of the Elderly will honor 75 couples that have been married for 50 years or more. These couples have been invited to a special luncheon at the Taj Boston hotel.

According to a recent press release, the anniversary couples will be treated to appetizers while they wait for their professional photo to be taken. There will then be a formal toast by Mayor Walsh.

The longest married couple, married for 66 years, will be asked to step forward to cut the tiered wedding cake. They will be served a three course meal and invited to dance while New England wedding band Four Guys in Tuxes plays. The guests will receive a set of engraved champagne flutes.

The Taj Boston is located on 15 Arlington St.
