Northcutts celebrate 50th anniversary

Celebrating their golden wedding anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Northcutt were the honored guests at a reception given recently by their family.

Hosts for the event at the Morrison Ruritan building were Robin Rogers and Bruce Northcutt.

For the occasion, the former Mary Denby was attired in a purple linen frock with a corsage of yellow roses and gold ribbon worn at her shoulder. Her diamond tennis bracelet was an anniversary gift from her husband, who wore a yellow rosebud boutonniere.

Displayed on a gold board were pictures of the couple spanning the past 50 years.

The reception table, draped with white lace over yellow linen, was accented with gold tulle, lily of the valley, confetti and candle holders with white candles.

Three round anniversary cakes arranged at graduating heights were iced in white with yellow fondant roses. Also gracing the uppermost cake was a figurine of a senior adult couple holding a 50th anniversary book.

Attending the guest register were Jesse Northcutt and Lakan Dotson. Serving the cake were Jacob Northcutt and Casi Rogers while Miki Rogers ladled the punch. Jesse, Jacob, Casi and Miki are the Northcutt’s grandchildren.

Out-of-town guests included Damon and Sue Summers of Yorktown, Ind.; Waymon and Rose Mary Summers of Chattanooga, Donnie and Barbara Burks and Russell Burks of Shelbyville.
