A FROME couple have been celebrating 60 years of marriage with their diamond wedding anniversary and say one of their secrets to a long-lasting marriage is to never go to bed on an argument.
Roger and Francis Meagor marked the milestone with a service at Frome Wesley Methodist Church followed by a reception attended by their five children, 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren along with friends and other family members.
The couple met at Seale-Hayne’s Agricultural College in Cornwall when they were both in their early 20s. They married in Cornwall at the Methodist Church and enjoyed many years living in Milbrook before relocating to Somerset.
When asked what the secret is to a long-lasting marriage, the couple said, “Our shared faith is enormously important to us and has helped us throughout our married life. We also say never go to bed on an argument!”
The chief executive officer for the Radstock Co-operative Society – where Roger was a farm manager for 20 years – Don Morris and the president Graham Jeffery visited the couple to present them with an array of gifts to honour the special occasion.
