First love is lasting love for couple
A COUPLE who were each other's first love are celebrating their diamond wedding anniversary today. Roy and Jean Blenco were married in Rushden Mission Church on January 28, 1950.
The couple from Montague Street met as teenagers and fell head over heels for each other. Mr Blinco, 83, said: "My best friend introduced me to his sister and that was it. "She was 14 at the time and I was 15 and I just fell in love with her. We had never been out with anyone else so she was my first and last love. "We are still in love after 60 years because I love everything about her." Mr and Mrs Blinco will be celebrating today with a romantic meal, with members of their church on Friday and with family on Saturday.
They have two daughters and three grandchildren.
