Carl and Diana Grosser on their wedding day at the Heart of Reno Wedding Chapel, August 14, 1976

Carl & Diana Grosser

Fifty Years
Saturday, September 5, 2026 3:00 until 7:00 in the evening

Join us in celebrating fifty years of marriage for Carl and Diana.

There will be food, music, toasts, time to catch up with people you haven't seen in far too long, and a slideshow of all fifty years. Send us old photographs beforehand and we'll add them to the slideshow. We'd love for you to share photos of the event and they'll show up right on the screen as well!

Will you be there?

Let us know as soon as you can, so we order enough food. It takes about fifteen seconds. Not sure yet? Tell us that — a probably helps us as much as a yes, and you can change it any time.

Can you come?

Rather do it the old way? Call or text (916) 619-4466.

Finding us in the park We're in the Patio Room at the community center, which sits inside Rusch Community Park off Auburn Blvd. Follow the drive in and look for the community center building near the pool, not the picnic shelters. Parking is free.
Bringing children? Good. The park has a playground, ball fields, and plenty of room to run around, all a short walk from the door.

Share your photos

If you have a photograph of Carl and Diana, from last summer or from 1978, we'd love to have it. Everything sent in goes into the slideshow at the party.

You can also text them to (916) 619-4466 Anything you write with a photo becomes its description on the screen. “Carl and Diana at Folsom Lake, 1978” is exactly the sort of thing we’d love to know.

Bringing printed photos? Please do. We'll have a scanner set up at the party, and you'll take your originals home with you the same day. Shoeboxes welcome.

Social Guest Book Wall

Sign the guest book. Leave a memory, a favourite story, congratulations, or simply hello. Everyone can read what's here, and all of it gets printed and given to Carl and Diana after the party.
