Couple celebrate 60 years of marriage
It started with a wave on a motorbike and ended with a wedding.
And now Neville and Jennifer Morris, from Bishop's Castle, have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.
Mr Morris, 79, said he lived in Builth Wells but stayed at his grandmother's house at weekends in Snailbeach.
He worked as a firefighter and would leave his grandmother's house on a Monday morning to ride to work on his motorbike and would see Mrs Morris, now 77, waiting for the school bus outside her house in Gravels.
"There was a girl waiting for the bus with a red and black scarf on and I'd wave an beep my horn and she'd do a little wave back.
"It started from there. I got to know her and I made a few inquiries and there was a dance at Snailbeach and I went to this dance and I met her there.
"That's how it started off."
Mr and Mrs Morris married on May 24 1958 when they were 19 and 17.
Mr Morris worked at Rolls Royce in Shrewsbury then ran his own car transport business for 38 years, while Mrs Morris worked in a shop in Shrewsbury dressing windows and then worked as an auxiliary nurse for about 30 years in Bishop's Castle.
The pair now have six grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.
The family celebrated Mr and Mrs Morris's anniversary by taking a trip on a steam engine at the Severn Valley Railway.
Mrs Morris added: "The only advice I can give for a happy marriage is to be yourself and give and take."
