60 Years Married

[john1066]

Next year we are celebrating our Diamond wedding anniversary and I believe we can get an anniversary card from the Queen. What do we have to do to acheive that. Does anybody know? xx

I think someone has to write to palace in order to nominate if she does so indeed ?

Congrats John.

HM sends a card on the 60th, 65th, 70th and every year thereafter.

You fill in the form on Buck House's website and send a copy of your marriage certificate and they do the rest. Once you have done it once, you just resubmit the form (without certificate) for following anniversaries.

I did it for my grandparents's 60th and for their 65th. And no doubt for their 70th in 3 and a bit years time.....

jesus well done JOhn

My mother thought 25 was quite enough and never re-married [ er after burying my father rather than divorcing him ]

you have to notify Buck House in advance of course,know a couple who got theirs delivered on the dot at 8am by a Post Office van, not with the usual mid morning deliveries.

Good on you! We will reach 55 in August but 60 is a magic number.
