GOLDEN wedding couple Richard and Monica Godding celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at Wellington Rugby Club.
They met at a barbecue in Holcombe Rogus in 1966 and married two years later on March 9 at St George’s Church in Tiverton.
At that time Monica worked at Heathcoats factory, Tiverton, and Richard at Bishop Bros foundry – where Bishops Court is now – in North Street, Wellington.
They moved to Wellington soon after they married and have three daughters, all now married themselves, and six grandchildren.
The couple (pictured) would like to thank Nigel Marsden for the food, Molopole for the music and Mike Green for the photos.
Donations in lieu of gifts raised £810.18p for Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance.
