Couple walk down the 'aisle' 72 years after they first said 'I do'

Yorkshire Post

A couple marked their wedding anniversary by walking down the aisle - 72 years after they first said 'I do'.    Edna Schofield and her husband, Keith, both 92, had a second 'wedding' hosted by their family at their home in Skipton, North Yorkshire.    Footage taken on 22 August, shows the sweet moment Edna was escorted down a homemade aisle to Keith - who was waiting in the living room.   Edna held a bouquet of flowers from her granddaughter Hanna's wedding day during the ceremony while grandson, Sam, sported Keith's old school tie.
