In 'The Golden Wedding' (1994), two antique chairs represent a couple posing for their golden wedding anniversary photograph.

The Golden Wedding

Before our marriage we had our
separate lives.
Since our wedding photo was taken,
much has changed.
In a trice, half a century has passed.
It was not easy to share hardship for so long.
Yet we are still who we were.

If we look closely at each other,
we can vaguely see what we were like all those years
ago when we were young.
Although we now take another picture that records the
ravages of time, we have not really changed.
I am still me and you are still you.
