Wedding Anniversary Celebrated on the Wrong Day
Every year married couples celebrate the day that they walked down the aisle to say their vows to each other. Their celebrations take on many forms depending on the length of the anniversary, some will be quiet affairs with the couple spending some quality time alone and for others it will be a full blown knees up.
A couple from Ashton under Lyne in Greater Manchester recently discovered that after sixty years of marriage, they had in fact been celebrating their anniversary on the wrong day completely.
Ernest and Joyce Knott who are both eighty three years old have celebrated their anniversary every year on the 11th of August but it was only while celebrating their diamond anniversary that they decided to look at their wedding certificate. It showed their actual wedding date as the 12th of August and it was only then that the couple realised their mistake.
The couple were married at Christ Church in Ashton under Lyne after courting for eighteen months and neither of them are sure how this mistake occurred to begin with. The couple have three children together, Margaret, Alison and Trevor and now have six grandchildren and one great grandchild.
