It was a memorable day at Etheldred House Care Home in Histon when Davina and Barrie celebrated their 60th (Diamond) Wedding Anniversary

It was March 5th 1963 when Davin and Barrie tied the knot in the quaint village of Aldbourne in Wiltshire Aged 20 and 21 it was very much the start of their life together after falling in love when they were just teenagers

Davina and Barrie both fondly remember the day they met Barrie came to the village to work with horses owned by Davina’s family neither knowing at the time that this meeting would turn in a lifelong romance Davin recalls they day she married Barrie like it was yesterday “it was momentous because it snowed very heavily in the morning, which no-one expected and meant some guests couldn’t attend,” said Davina

However with many friends and family members around 40 people attended to witness the marriage of Davina and Barrie Davina recalls her favourite flowers

Lillies of the Valley were placed all around the room Barrie still brings her these flowers to this day and the scent always takes her back to the magical moment they tied the knot

The popular song Can t stop falling in love by Elvis Presley also brings back special memories from their wedding day as this was the song they had their first dance to 60 years later and they re still head over heels for each other Barrie arrived at Etheldred House who arrived with her favourite flowers Barrie has a bit of a sweet tooth so she returned a gift of his favourite chocolates They shared some valuable time together talking about their marriage and sharing memories of their wedding day It was wonderful to witness this strong and happy marriage continuing to blossom Davina s two sons, Darren and David also visited Etheldred to celebrate the day with their parents With them, they brought their children so Davina and Barrie were able to celebrate with their closest family members and spend some quality time with their Grandchildren
