Mary and Bill Jones were honored at a 40th anniversary party. Hosts were their children, Ami Arthur, Casey Jones, Tom Jones, Molly Jones and Nick Jones in the Santa Fe Depot in Norman.
A frog theme was used because Bill Jones has told the children a frog story through the years so the mantra for the family is to “keep jumping.”
Besides the frogs everywhere there were framed pictures from their wedding and a slideshow playing during the event.
Bouquets of yellow gladiolus, yellow daisies and white hydrangeas were on the tables with white flower candles and green ribbons.
Mary Jones’ sister, Gloria Criser, made an exact replica of the cake decorated with doves, rings, flowers and netting that the Jones had at their wedding reception in 1971.
Greg Puckett, a groomsman from the wedding, and Marla Nix and Gina Newlin, two of the bridesmaids, were among the guests.
