Seventieth Wedding Anniversary
In today’s society, not everyone reaches wedding anniversary milestones such as fifty years or even twenty five years married but for one couple in Port Seton in Edinburgh they have reached their platinum wedding anniversary!
The couple, eighty eight year old Margaret Mack and her husband, ninety two year old Charlie were married seventy years ago in a civil service ceremony in January 1940. They had met two years prior to their wedding when they were both members of a local bike club.
Along with a card from the Queen, they also received from their local minister a blessing from their church which meant a lot to them as they did not have a religious wedding.
Charlie, who worked as a miner and Margaret who was a fish filleter, were blessed with three children, Ellen, Beth and Andrew who went on to give them six grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
The couple are proud of their accomplishment and they celebrated their achievement with a get together with family and friends at the Port Seton Centre. They had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and account their success in marriage down to the fact that they never held a grudge with each other or went to bed not speaking!
