In the heartwarming celebration held at the Almassora residence
Amador Milián (1922) and Matilde Meseguer (1926) marked an amazing milestone
their 70th wedding anniversary -- although
the couple has been together a record-breaking 82 years
and the entire Almassora community to honor this extraordinary couple
The festivities commenced with an animated proclamation by Salva Sanchez El Mussennacitu
who declared the celebration as a recognition not just of the couple but also "of all the people of Almassora." With trumpet in hand
he set the stage for a jubilant atmosphere
José Manuel, one of the couple's two sons, took a poignant moment to share his parents' secret to a lasting marriage: "The RTP: Respect, trust, and patience. They are heroes — an example for everyone." He also expressed gratitude to the nursing home staff for their role in making the celebration possible.
Mayor María Tormo, presenting Matilde with a bouquet of white carnations reminiscent of her wedding day, acknowledged the couple as "an example of love, affection, and respect" that inspires the entire community.
The ceremony also featured contributions from Mayor Eugenia Martinavarro and the center's director, Eugenia Gómez, who conveyed warm wishes to the jubilant couple. The grand finale was a touching gesture from the couple's great-grandchildren, Gerard, Júlia, Arnau, and Enric, who presented rings for Amador and Matilde to renew their vows.
Amador and Matilde's 70 years together as husband and wife not only deserve celebration but serve as a radiant example of enduring love and commitment for all those contemplating marriage.
