An East Kilbride care home has ensured two married residents celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary and Valentine’s Day in true romantic fashion.
Helen and Danny Falloon, who live at Kingsgate care home on Glasgow Road and were married the day after Valentine’s Day, enjoyed a special day celebrating with staff and fellow residents.
Helen and Danny have been married for 63 years and have two daughters, Anne and Yvonne.
Danny was a welder/fitter and Helen worked in schools and supermarkets but enjoyed her job as a barmaid the most.
Helen said: “I really enjoyed our Valentine’s Day celebrations, it’s always a special occasion for us as a couple since our wedding anniversary is the following day.
“The home went to a lot of effort with the gorgeous cake and beautiful decorations, it was lovely.”
Danny said: “Valentine’s Day is always great, but our wedding anniversary is my favourite day, as it is just about my wife and me. We were spoilt with lots of cards from our family and friends, it was a wonderful day!”
Liz Williamson, peripatetic manager at Kingsgate care home, said: “Helen and Danny are a lovely couple, and to be married for 63 years is quite an achievement.
“All our residents enjoyed Valentine’s Day and we had a lot of fun and making Helen and Danny’s wedding anniversary the next day special was the icing on the cake. Which was also delicious!”
