Open communication and trust are the secrets to a long and happy marriage say Eve and David Young, who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Friday afternoon.
The couple, who live at the Elizabeth R Rest Home and Village, got married on March 27, 1965 at a registry office in Bromsgrove, England.
Eve says it was a very intimate ceremony. "There were about 20 close friends and family there to celebrate with us, we didn't want a big church wedding we just wanted to be married." Eve's father, who was a chef, made the couple their wedding cake which they shared with the wedding party at a reception in their home after the ceremony.
Eve says she was only 15-years-old and David was 17s-year-old when the couple got engaged after six months of courtship.
"We met on a blind date set up by mutual friends, he came to pick me up on a motorcycle on our first date."
