The team at Etheldred House Care Home in Histon work hard to make every lived experience as special as possible, and this was reflected during Shelagh and David’s 60th wedding anniversary.
Being married for 60 years is a wonderful feat, so the home put together a special surprise celebration for the loving couple.
The home planned a wonderful Diamond Anniversary party, complete with balloons, decorations, and a poster that read “Happy Anniversary David and Shelagh”. When they had asked the people living at the home if they wanted to be involved, they were met with a resounding and excited “yes”, so everyone made sure to hide in the lounge, ready for the pair.
Shelagh and David were so surprised to see everyone gathered in the lounge area to celebrate them on their special day! There was music playing and lots of dancing, with a big cake that was lovingly prepared by Etheldred House’s own sous-chef Alan. Some of the people in the home also gave a speech, honouring the couple’s long-term love.
The atmosphere was full of joy and excitement, with everyone so thrilled to be a part of their Diamond Anniversary. Shelagh and David came away from the day with even more love in their hearts, thanking their Etheldred family for making their important day even more special.
