Platinum wedding anniversary
Congratulation to Raymond Poulin et Marie-Marthe Labrecque (photo), both aged 93, who celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary yesterday, August 7. The couple, who live in the Campanile residence in Sainte-Foy, were surrounded by their family for the occasion. For the main parties concerned, this long road (which seemed very short to them) was made in love, loyalty, courage and complicity. Bravo! Photo provided by family.
