A COUPLE marked their 67th wedding anniversary in style – by fulfilling a long-held desire to take a trip through Wareham on the river.

Ted and Dulcie, residents at Upton Bay Care Home in Poole, finally got to take to the water recently.

Thanks to the efforts of Upton Bay staff, who worked with the Friends of Dolphin Boats the pair, along with friend June, took to the water.

“We are overjoyed to gather together to celebrate the remarkable 67th wedding anniversary of Ted and Dulcie,” an Upton Bay spokesperson said.

“Their enduring love for each other and their cherished town of Wareham has been an inspiration to us all.

“Throughout their incredible journey, there was one dream that had remained unfulfilled for Ted and Dulcie – a scenic river trip through the beautiful town of Wareham.

They said they were ‘immensely grateful’ to the Friends of Dolphin Boats for their help in making the couple’s dream come true.

“Their selflessness and generosity have made this celebration even more meaningful, highlighting the power of community and the beauty of friendship,” they added.
