London, Sept 29 – A Brit couple has tied the knot – 53 years after getting engaged.
Freda Wood and Jack Lee’s romance first blossomed when they met as teenagers in the Fifties.
They became engaged in 1957. Jack, who was then 17, moved in with 19-year-old Freda and her family.
Within months, love turned sour. The young couple split up and went their separate ways.
However, more than half a century later they found themselves living a few doors apart at a housing complex in Sandbach, Cheshire.
Freda, a hospice volunteer, saw Jack in the car park in June and stopped to chat. But they did not recognise each other.
“I thought he reminded me of somebody, I couldn’t.
