Local Care Home Residents Celebrate 70 Years Together!
A couple from Hyacinth House care home, in Stapehill, Wimborne have celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary.
Conrad Graham, 91 and Margot Graham, 89, first met while working at the Inland Revenue in Esher, Surrey in 1950. Conrad fondly recalls that it was Margot’s first day and he was asked to show her where to receive her luncheon vouchers. It was love at first sight!
Conrad went on to complete his National Service and achieved the rank of Colonel. The couple moved frequently due to Conrad’s service, before eventually settling in Bromley. They used to enjoy travelling abroad together and have built a loving family with three children and seven grandchildren.
When asked about the secret to a long and happy marriage, the couple shared,
“There is no secret, just behave yourself and love each other.”
To mark this milestone, their family gathered at Hyacinth House for an afternoon tea party, prepared by the home to celebrate the special occasion. For their Anniversary lunch, Conrad and Margot were treated extra special and enjoyed a private romantic dining experience with a menu of their choice.
General Manager, Kamila Gagala at Hyacinth House said:
“We have had such a lovely day helping them to celebrate their anniversary. It’s so wonderful to see two people still very much in love after all these years!”
