Today Jan and I ventured into Newport (Pembs) just to see what it was like. We ended up having lunch in a slightly poncey bistro.
Whilst we were eating, a few people came and went and mostly I took no notice. Then, I overheard someone ordering some cake to take out. “It’s our wedding anniversary so we are going to celebrate.”
I turned and asked them, for it was a couple, “Excuse me, did I just hear you say the today is your wedding anniversary?”
“Yes, you did.”
“Snap!” I responded.
Further conversation revealed that it was their 48th. Same as ours.
It turned out that they were married in Diss, whereas we tied the knot in the Stalybridge Unitarian church.
I explored the possibility of having a meal with them this evening, but it seems that one of them still has an ageing parent to attend to. However, we took them upon their recommendation of the Golden Lion, Newport, as a preferred eatery.
I know of only two other couples whose wedding day was 17th April: Chris & Mrs. Hoy, and Sybil and Basil Fawlty.
