A COUPLE who has just celebrated 60 years of marriage has revealed the secret to a long and happy relationship.
David and Patricia Clemo celebrated their 60th anniversary at Cedars Care Home in Landford last week.
The couple first met whilst working at Air Products in London.
David had just started his new job when Patricia, who was tasked to take him to his department, took him to the wrong one.
They got engaged in 1964 and married in 1965 in North London Methodist Church.
They spent their honeymoon in Jersey and now have two daughters, four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren – with another on the way.
The pair said the secret to a long marriage is “understanding that we all have weaknesses, but loving the person anyway.”
David said: “If given half a chance, I would do it all again.”
Staff at the Cedars said that David is a most devoted husband and the couple spend every day together.
The staff at Cedars presented the couple with a framed wedding photo and the head chef prepared a special afternoon tea for David and Patricia to mark the occasion.
Anish Abraham, general manager, at The Cedars care home, said: “We are honoured to share this special day with David and Patricia.
“It is such an amazing achievement and we were pleased to be able to make the day a memorable occasion for them.”
