WHEN the word got out at Ipswich’s St Paul’s Anglican Church that John and Shirley Dickens were celebrating their 55th wedding anniversary other congregation members started mentioning they were also chalking up the same number.
In fact, six other couples put up their hand for 55 years and four of them also remarked they got married at St Paul’s in 1967.
Such a remarkable coincidence needed to be celebrated so the 1967 brides and grooms got together and headed off to Plantations at Booval for an anniversary dinner. We believe the men behaved themselves, possibly that’s why they’re still married.
