Shhhhhh! It's time to celebrate......and it's a surprise

Gemma and Hayley organised a great romantic, unforgettable, surprise 35th wedding anniversary celebration for Dianne and |Nigel.

The guests waiting for Di and Nigel to arrive.


We had the honour of attending this secret party.
The house was decorated with hearts and lights to mimic a lavish wedding, hosted by their loving daughters.  Elegance at every turn!

Gemma had decorated the table in warm coral colours.

Gemma and Hayley had prepared a beautiful speech

and Di and Nigel were obviously touched



35 years of marriage are known as The Coral Wedding Anniversary.
This is because coral organisms grow close together just like a good marriage, built and developed over many years and Alun had prepared a slide show on TV for guests to watch.


The photos were a great success with the guests.



After the walk down memory lane the next stop was to Gemma's delicious buffet.

The food and drink was so yummy.  You'd have been disappointed if you didn't come on an empty stomach!

And from Gemma's kitchen, another spectacular cake.


and Signature drinks.  Big glass, little glass.  Guess who had a hangover the next morning?

Lovely photographs Doug and Sofia.  Thank you.






It was a total blast, and it was great to party with all of Di and Nigel's friends and relatives.


It was eventually just too much for some


We also sang Happy Birthday to Gemma for the following Wednesday.




Treating Di and Nigel to this surprise anniversary party was a wonderful generous gift that will create memories they will always cherish.  There's nothing more beautiful in life than lasting love and reaching a milestone anniversary is worthy of a celebration with family and friends.

Together Di and Nigel have found a friendship, raised a family and built a beautiful marriage.
