Wimborne care home residents celebrate platinum anniversary
Conrad and Margot Graham, who live at Hyacinth House care home in Stapehill, have been married for 70 years.
It’s a very happy anniversary to a Wimborne couple who have celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary.
Conrad Graham, 91 and Margot Graham, 89, who live at Hyacinth House care home in Stapehill, first met while working at the Inland Revenue in Esher, Surrey in 1950. Conrad recalls that it was Margot’s first day and he was asked to show her where to receive her luncheon vouchers. It was love at first sight.
Conrad went on to complete his National Service and achieved the rank of Colonel. The couple moved frequently due to Conrad’s service, before eventually settling in Bromley. They used to enjoy travelling abroad together and have built a loving family with three children and seven grandchildren.
When asked about the secret to a long and happy marriage, the couple said: “There is no secret, just behave yourself and love each other.”
To mark this milestone, their family gathered at Hyacinth House for an afternoon tea party, prepared by the home. For their anniversary lunch, Conrad and Margot enjoyed a private romantic dining experience with a menu of their choice.
General Manager Kamila Gagala at Hyacinth House said: “We have had such a lovely day helping them to celebrate their anniversary. It’s so wonderful to see two people still very much in love after all these years.”
