Vera knew her husband could at times be forgetful. She worried he might forget their silver wedding anniversary. Silver often found its way into conversations.
“Jared, have you noticed how my hair has turned silver over the years we’ve been married? Do you remember we first met on the Queen’s Silver Jubilee?”
She only hoped he took the hint and was pleased when, on the day, he handed her a box, “This is gold. It’s our silver anniversary.”
Jared smiled as he kissed her, “Silver is second place at the Olympics. My love for you has always only been first.”

Very nice!
I’ll not ever have a silver wedding anniversary. That is, unless by some miracle I meed the right man tomorrow, and then I live to be more than 100 years old!

Thanks for the comment.
I know the feeling. I’d need to be in my 80s. 🙂

Thanks for the comment.
As the hint in the prompt was silver anniversary, I wanted something with an unexpected idea.
