Couple Celebrates 81 years Of Marriage

Ron and Joyce Bond Celebrates 81st Wedding Anniversary Decades After Pals Warned Their Relationship 'Wouldn't Last'.

Ron and Joyce Bond even received a special letter from Queen Elizabeth in honor of their 80th anniversary last year.

Sometimes it pays off not to listen to your friends when it comes to matters of the heart.

Ron and Joyce Bond celebrated their 81st wedding anniversary on January 4, which earned them the title of Britain's longest married couple, per SWNS.

"We never expected to reach 81 years of marriage, we know we are very fortunate to have achieved this amazing goal," said Joyce, 100. 

"It feels excellent!" she continued. "There is no boss in our relationship, we both give and take."

Echoing the sentiment, Ron, 102, added, "Sometimes life is hard but we work through it together. We look after each other too." 

The pair, who tied the knot in 1941, both say it was "love at first sight" — even though their friends were initially less than impressed with the match, and warned that the relationship "wouldn't last long."  

"It was said of them at the time of their wedding, it would not last long, how wrong did folks get that?" recalled their daughter Eileen.

At the time, Ron — who served in World War II and would go on to work at a local garage — was 21, while Joyce, a former Woolworths worker, was 19. 

"My parents are a truly inspiring couple, not only to my brother and I but to their grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren," Eileen added. "You only have to spend time with them to know they love and care for each other, even after 81 years of being married."

Blac Chyna Drags Tyga's Mum Into Child Custody Battle

It looks like Blac Chyna is doing everything she can to start seeing her kids more. Blac Chyna and Tyga According to HipHopDX news, in court documents obtained by Radar Online, that the ex-stripper (real name Angela White) served Pasionaye Nguyen — the “Rack City” rapper’s mother — with documents on Thursday (September 21). The service was done via a process server since Blac Chyna couldn’t find her ex to deliver the documents accordingly. Service via a third party is known as substituted service, and this type of service is acceptable in the California court system so long as the party doing the serving can demonstrate that they tried to serve the original party “at least three times,” and was unsuccessful in each attempt. This suggests that Blac Chyna will now try to claim that Tyga was dodging her previous petitions — and what’s more, Tyga is now forced to respond to her paperwork or face a potential default judgment against him. Last month, Blac Chyna filed a petition in the Los An...
