A MALVERN couple have celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary and labelled trust, faithfulness and caring for one another as the key ingredients to a long and happy marriage.
David and Gwen Bird marked the milestone with a special afternoon tea party at Davenham Care Home, where they both live.
The couple first met at a dance at Moor Pool Hall, in Birmingham, when Gwen was just 17-years-old and David was 21.
Three years later on June 1, 1950, they got married at St Hilda’s Church in Warley Woods, in Birmingham.
They were then blessed with two sons David and Jonathan and later two lovely grandchildren.
Suzanne Park, the home’s deputy manager, said: “We spent such a lovely afternoon together celebrating Mr and Mrs Bird’s wedding anniversary.
“Occasions such as this are very special to our residents – we all enjoyed lots of tea, cake and of course a few bubbles to toast Gwen and David.”
