More than 215 couples celebrating their 25th, 50th and 60th anniversaries participated in the Wedding Anniversary Mass celebrated by Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley June 13 at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross.

Following the cardinal's homily, couples faced one another, joined hands and recited the Renewal of Vows concluded by the pronouncement of "You may kiss the bride" by Cardinal O'Malley.
