Ilse and Kilian Berchtold from Oberspiesheim can celebrate the rare festival of the iron wedding. On May 2, 1955 the couple said yes in the then registry office Unterspiesheim. Two days later the wedding took place 65 years ago in the St. Agidius Church in Gernach, because Kilian Berchtold came from Gernach.
