A couple of residents living at the Seasons Drayton Valley Retirement Community celebrated a significant milestone in early March.
Horst and Balbine Boehm celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary by sharing cake and wine with other residents at the retirement community.
The happy couple first met in Germany in 1950, when Horst offered to walk Balbine home from a bus stop and the two have lived happily ever after ever since. Horst moved to Canada in 1957, intent on working and saving enough money to return to Germany to marry Balbine. The two wrote each other love letters every day until Balbine agreed to join Horst in Canada after the wedding.
When asked what the secret to a long-lasting marriage is, the two simply replied, “Choose to stay together, be honest, and trust one another.”
Congratulations to the happy couple from everyone at 92.9 Big West Country.
