Marvin and Evelyn Gibian are celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary today, Jan. 16. They were married in Kansas City at the home of the bride’s aunt and uncle, Jennie and George Kivo, by Rabbi Gershon Hadas, of blessed memory. The accompanist was Rose Levine, pianist, of blessed memory.

The couple honeymooned in New Orleans and have always lived in the greater Kansas City area.

They are the parents of two daughters, 12 grandchildren, and 26 great-grandchildren. Marvin and Evelyn will host the Kiddush luncheon on Saturday, Jan. 25, following services at Congregation Beth Shalom in honor of their anniversary.
