On Saturday, October 19, Anatoly and Olga Alexandrov were congratulated at the Volsky registry office. The occasion is not just the creation of a family, because this family has already been tested by time, but a tribute to the spouses who have lived together for 50 years.
The golden jubilees walked to the registrar’s table to the accompaniment of Mendelssohn’s march, a little nervous. Anatoly Nikolaevich held his Olga Borisovna tightly by the hand. Probably the way he once took her hand when he met her, a young, perky beauty, in the summer of 1974. After three months of dating, he already realized that there was no need for another. She, telling the story of the marriage, also admitted that she immediately liked Anatoly – in a way that no one had liked before.
Walking through life together, the Alexandrovs raised a son, welcomed and are enjoying their grandson and granddaughter. And most importantly, despite the passing of the years, a happy spark remained in them – it is clear that love, tenderness, and touching care did not melt away over time in everyday troubles, but still warm and decorate life. And coquetry, by the way, has not gone away either! Chatting after the ceremony, we asked the Alexandrovs about the secrets of family happiness. They are simple – to understand, feel sorry for and hear each other. When asked who is the first to make peace if disagreements occur, Olga Borisovna, looking slyly at her husband, answered:
– He!
And Anatoly Nikolaevich, giving his wife the same look, confirmed:
– Happens! Who cares who’s first! The main thing is not to hold a grudge!
On this significant date, the celebrants were warmly congratulated by their relatives, the deputy of the Council of the Volsk Municipal District Vadim Shevyrev and the chairman of the Council of Veterans of the region Olga Shavykina. The head of the civil registry office in the Volsky district, Tatyana Kulikova, presented the couple with a memorial letter and invited them back to the registry office in five years, where they would be happy to meet the wonderful couple and congratulate them on their new anniversary.
