Rick & Lori Owen celebrate their semicentennial of love

Submitted by Corey Burkhardt

As America celebrates its 250^th birthday, our family is celebrating another extraordinary milestone. Please join us in honoring the marriage of Rick and Lori (Edwards) Owen for their Golden Anniversary.

Married on July 3, 1976, in Carmel, they began a life together of many memories, ups and downs, and incredible blessings. They were gifted with three beautiful daughters, Corey (Brian) Burkhardt, Cassie Owen Mata, Christie Ixba, and eight wonderful grandchildren. This goes to show how love, dedication, and endurance can solidify even two of the most strong-willed and stubborn individuals God created. Loving each other then, today and for a lifetime.

Here’s to our deeply cherished and dearly loved parents, Rick and Lori – 50 years golden, still shining bright, and still proving that true love (and a little holy stubbornness) can last a lifetime!
