Celebration of a Special Anniversary

My sister and her husband 
Go dining in the early eve
In a restaurant by the water
Sitting by the window
It is a lovely view to see

the table has a setting 
A set in the middle 
Two candles are lite
On a tablecloth
Two glasses and bottle

Filled with red wine
Ready to fill the glasses
To click together
For a special celebration
A toast to marriage
For fifty years marriage
