Fay and Bob’s daughter Sandra Hendricks, who organised the special celebration, said her parents were “totally surprised and overwhelmed’ by all the family and friends who had travelled to take part in the milestone celebration.
“Everyone that attended had a wonderful time,” Sandra said.
“Family and friends travelled from Brunswick Heads, Cowra, Dubbo, Syndey and Central Coast.
“There were heaps of stories, laughter and fun shared by everyone.”
When asked what makes a happy marriage, the diamond anniversary couple said the key is in finding the right partner.
“Everyone has their fights and arguments, [but you need to] continue to communicate and work on the problems at the time,” Mrs Welch said.
“Love each other and be happy. Make decisions together – marriage isn't a job, it's two people caring for and loving each other until the end,” Mr Welch said.
The family would like to thank the staff at Macksville Ex-Services Club for making this day a wonderful time for Mr and Mrs Welch and their family.
