Plural Posessives

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?

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.

Sine you have 2 parents, the apostrophe belongs after the s. If you were talking about 1 parent (even if his/her name ends with an "s") you would have it be before the s.
