IT was love at first sight for a former Buckingham couple who have just celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary. Dennis and Irene Cruse, pictured,who lived in the town for 40 years, met on their way to a dance in Buckingham when he was a 21-year-old paratrooper and she was a 19-year-old working in a local factory. "He was down to see his brother, who ran the Britannia pub. A little group of us were going to a dance, and he hadn't got a partner," remembered Mrs Cruse. "He's been the best husband I could have ever chosen," she added. Mr Cruse remembers the meeting well: "She was beautiful, it was love at first sight." Having first met in May 1947, they were engaged in August, and arranged their marriage for Boxing Day. Following their wedding in Buckingham Parish Church, and not having much money, they had their reception in the Old Latin School, and spent a frugal but happy honeymoon in Carlisle. Briefly moving to Mr Cruse's native Harrogate, the couple returned to Buckingham where their son and daughter, Colin and Sally, were born. They now have six grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Marriage Blog Comment: A marriage is said and supposed to be a happy marriage until and unless it really turns sore in our society. It is something like saying "Fine" to answer the question "How do you do?" although it is very rare that one is really fine under the conditions we are living in. I - writing here this marriage blog - have been married for the last 27 years and if you ask me how my marriage has done, I'll just say it was quite a happy marriage all through these years. But that will be just a formal answer only on the surface of it. What I have come to feel all these years is that we have to pay a heavy price compromising with our natural drives in order to get the safety and security that marriage provides us with. And we call this safety and security the happiness of marriage. We are unaware of the thrill that a spontaneous interaction with opposite sex imparts to us, but which doesn't have any place in the predictability of marriage. Marriage can only make us happy. It can never make us elated with joy! I invite you to subscribe to my E-zine titled Life Coach, free of charge.
