Reginald and Adrianne Gilmore celebrated sixty-two years of marriage together at
HC-One's Mossdale Residence care home in Burnholme.
Reginald and Adrianne met at a party and Mrs Gilmore jokes she was only invited along because she had a car. It was love at first sight and the couple were married on the 3rd March 1967 in Upholland Parish Church on the outskirts of Wigan.
The couple had very successful careers, Reginald was a radiographer in a hospital and Adrianne worked as a legal and claims expert for an insurance company. Mr and Mrs Gilmore have two fantastic daughters and one grandson who is 18 months old.
When asked what their secret to a long and happy marriage is, Reginald and Adrianne, said:
“We believe that a secret to a long and happy marriage is to love each other conditionally.”
Colleagues at Mossdale Residence wanted to give the couple an anniversary they would always remember. Everyone enjoyed cake and reminiscing on old memories together.
Julie Banks, Home Manager at HC-One Mossdale Residence, added:
“Happy sixty-second wedding anniversary to Reginald and Adrianne, from all of us at Mossdale Residence. We are so happy to have celebrated such a special day with you both.”
