Double diamonds

22 Sep 2021

Two popular Hobart Macquarie Probus Club couples celebrated their Diamond wedding anniversaries in 2021.

Couples Vivienne & Dieter and Denise & Colin have not only each been married for 60 years, but incredibly, they were also married on the same day, 1 April 1961, at the same time, 6:30pm – although their weddings took place at opposite ends of Tasmania.

Vivienne & Dieter tied the knot in Launceston, while Denise & Colin exchanged vows in Hobart.

They did not know of this unique situation until one day at a Probus meeting when they were discussing their marital milestones.

To celebrate their anniversaries, they enjoyed a joint special dinner at a Hobart Restaurant.
