Our 30th Wedding Anniversary


Having entered the holy estate of matrimony and exchanged wedding wows 30 years back on 19 June 1980 to live together as husbund and wife taking care of each other by loving, comforting, honoring in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, in sadness and in joy , cherishing each other as long as we both live, Latha and I celibrated our 30th wedding anniversary on 19 June 2010 surprisingly together with my colleage mates of the Galahitiyawa Central College.

The company with my class mates both girls and boys is something I always cherish wholeheartedly. All of us are now rather old nearing around 60 years of age and I could not make out some of them as they have had changed a lot with the age during the past 40 odd years from my leaving the school.

Our math teacher, Mr. Arther Perera, honered me by visiting our home for the get-together. Being a very nice teacher, he has had earned our love and respect during school days.
Among the friends, Mallika living in the UK, Upali Siriwardane, being a Professor of the Illinois University in the States and Udeni Pathmaperuma working for the UNO in Italy also took the trouble to partcipate in the get-together to our delight.

The presence of my class teacher and most of my class mates at our home meant a lot to us and Latha and I from the bottom of our heart thank them profoundly. Here are some photographs taken at the get-together.

We need to thank my chuti mallie , Sriyanthi nangie and kids living in Melbourne for the beautiful flower basket we received.

It was absolutely a very great occasion with lot of fun which we will remember always.
