A HOYLANDSWAINE couple are set to celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary later this month and they say ‘patience’ is the key to a long and happy marriage.
Pat and Rob Melton, now 89 and 90 respectively, will celebrate their big day on June 20 having married at Hoylandswaine Church in 1953.
Having met in Bridlington two years earlier, the pair tied the knot and have stayed together ever since.
They have three children, and a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Pat told the Chronicle: “Patience is the secret to a happy marriage.
“I think that we’ve both got quite a lot of that.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
