Linda and Charles Swope
Charles and Linda Swope of Eastgate celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary June 29, 2013.

They were surprised by a celebration planned by their daughter Debbie Johnson and Charles’ sister Judy Wells. Charles and Linda were honored with the presence of many family and friends they have known over the years.

Charles and Linda’s nephew, Mike Wells, renewed their vows for them, and their niece, Karen, owner of Karen’s Carriages, took them for a horse drawn carriage ride.

Their daughter, Debbie, sang “Over The Rainbow,” which is her mother’s favorite song.

Everyone enjoyed an evening of good food, music and dancing.
