The wedding took place on 27th December 1959 at Maria Bambina Collegiate Parish Church, Xaghra, between Jane Galea and Anthony Bajada. Fifty years later, on 27th December 2009, in the same Church now Basilica and kneeling at the feet of the same High Altar, the couple celebrated their Golden Jubilee Wedding happily surrounded by their first and second generation and friends of the family. The principal celebrant at Eucharist Celebration was Canon Michael Borg, cousin of the groom, who, with his brother John, was altar boy during wedding Mass celebrated by the late Canon Fortunato Cini in 1959 . Co celebrating were Archpriest Mgr Carmelo Refalo and Canon Joseph Sultana. Choir Voci Angeliche, under the direction of Mrs Grace Vella accompanied by Mro John Galea on the organ, animated the singing. At a lavish buffet reception afterwards the couple opened gifts presented by their children, grandchildren, relatives and friends. A Jubilee cake was cut and champagne flowed to the applause and enjoyment of all. Our congratulations to Tony and Jane and may this occasion serve to show today`s young married couples that real love built on Christian family values stays young with the passage of time.
