Couples married for 50 plus years were honored for their long lasting marriage over the weekend.
 

Wedgewood Estates in Mansfield hosted the celebration Beyond Golden, for 26 couples Friday evening.
 

Wedgewood Estates community relations coordinator Lori Casto said she was inspired to have the celebration because her parents and her in-laws have both been married for 50 years.

"These people have lived amazing lives and they all have a story to tell. These days you don't see couples lasting this long and we want to celebrate their lasting relationships," Casto said.

During the event the couples shared their stories about their marriages and their secrets to making it work.

The couples also enjoyed a buffet dinner and wedding cake provided by Maria's Cakes of Mansfield.
 

Casto said she would like to see Beyond Golden become an annual event.
