Covid wrecked last year’s wedding plans for two members Bedford’s Highfield Residential Home community.
Gareth Stevens (64) had originally proposed marriage to Susan Robins (56) in April 2019 with a planned wedding day in June 2020.
Well Covid put paid to all that. The couple, with help of Highfield staff, rearranged their wedding day for May 7, 2021. The staff made things happen, from choosing an engagement ring, to the couple’s wedding outfits and the celebration cake.
A traditional wedding ceremony took place in St Mark’s Church, Brickhill, followed by a reception at Highfield with friends and family in attendance.
Gareth was originally from London but has spent most of his life in Bedford, moving to the home in 2015 and Susan has spent nearly all of her life also in Bedford and moving to the home in 2016.
