When it comes to love stories that stand the test of time, Robert and June are the gold standard – literally! This lovely couple recently celebrated 50 years of wedded bliss, having tied the knot way back in 1975. Known by everyone as soulmates, Robert and June are proof that true love only grows deeper with time.
So when their golden wedding anniversary came around, their daughters, Ellen and Suzie, knew they had to pull out all the stops. The result? A surprise celebration that was equal parts heartwarming, delicious, and downright legendary!
The chosen venue was close to Robert’s heart – his beloved local golf club, where he’s been a proud member for decades. With room for all their nearest and dearest, the guest list swelled to a lively 140 people. The stage was set for an unforgettable day!
Now, feeding that many guests is no small feat, but Ellen and Suzie had an ace up their sleeve: Hog Roast Irthington! They chose us for our crowd-pleasing, flavour-packed menus; and we were thrilled to rise to the occasion with our Gourmet BBQ menu.
Set against the club’s manicured lawns and under clear blue skies (with a stylish gazebo on standby just in case!), Hog Roast Irthington got to grilling up a storm. Featuring handmade British beef burgers, sizzling sausages, juicy chicken kebabs, and smokey spareribs, there was something on offer for everyone. Not to be outdone, the veggie lovers were treated to tasty veggie burgers and grilled veg and halloumi kebabs with creamy tzatziki and fresh flatbreads. Sides included pasta salad, crunchy coleslaw, and a mountain of freshly fried chips – served with all the fixings, of course.
The party sparkled in more ways than one, thanks to Ellen and Suzie’s thoughtful touches. Gold balloons floated at every table, matching confetti shimmered in the sunlight, and the pièce de résistance: a towering cake that read “Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary!.”
Robert and June were positively glowing. Surrounded by friends, family, and enough BBQ to feed a small army, the lovebirds marked five fabulous decades of marriage with full hearts and even fuller plates.
Here’s to Robert and June – may their next chapter be just as golden!
