Edenbridge couple Bill and Tess Cummings today celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary by hosting a special party for friends and family.
Bill lives at Stangrove Lodge residential home in Edenbridge, so the couple’s children organised a wonderful party at the home on the morning of 19th January, sixty years to the day after Bill and Tess tied the knot.
Married on a snowy January day at Saint Vincent’s Church in Sheffield in 1952, the couple set up home in Yorkshire and remained there until moving to Kent 18 months ago.
Surrounded by friends and family, including other residents from Stangrove Lodge, the happy couple toasted their marriage before cutting their cake and reading the many cards they received, including one from Her Majesty the Queen.
Enjoying the company of friends and family, Tess Cummings said: “I remember our wedding day like it was yesterday. We’ve been very fortunate to enjoy such a long and happy marriage, and we’re looking forward to many more content years together.”
