What is the correct way to say "My parents' fiftieth wedding anniversary"? Is it correct to add the apostrophe after the "s", since the anniversary belongs to the parents?

"OK, so ten out of ten for style, but minus several million for good thinking, yeah?"

I think " My parents' .... " or " My parents .... " are acceptable.

Same as " Company's name " or " Company name ".

With an apostrophe s just to show the possesiveness.
