Lanarkshire couples celebrating their golden wedding anniversary this year are being invited to join a celebratory event.
North and South Lanarkshire Council’s provosts are hosting an annual celebration for people who will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary and couples are being asked to get in touch if they would like to take part.
The event will be hosted in South Lanarkshire Council’s Banqueting Hall at the council headquarters in Hamilton.
South Lanarkshire provost, Margaret Cooper, said: “I hope as many couples as possible who celebrate their golden wedding this year get in touch with us.
“Also, if you are aware of anyone who was married in 1972, maybe your parents or grandparents, please encourage them to contact us.
“The happy couples will be able to enjoy musical hits from their wedding year, dancing, an afternoon tea and will be presented with a commemorative gift before having their photographs taken.
“It’s always a really enjoyable occasion and I look forward to hearing how the couples met and the ups and downs of their married life together.”
It will take place on October 12 and possibly October 13 if it is needed. The deadline to submit a request to take part is August 12.
Anyone who would like to receive an invite to the event should contact Maureen Greenwood, South Lanarkshire Council, Members’ Services, Floor 1, Almada Street, Hamilton ML3 0AA giving their name, address and contact telephone number. A copy of the marriage certificate will also be required.
