My parents are mid-sixties. They are pretty social. My mom is involved in lots of groups: bell choir at church, several card playing groups, and she has a group of friends she travels with. My dad is a talker If he has someone to listen to him, he's a happy guy.

I really wish we could afford to do an open bar . . . but we just can't. Perhaps we could provide the champagne for the toast at least? I'll look into it. That's why I thought a brunch the next morning might be a good idea.
