Two families from the Kursk region celebrated the 50th anniversary of living together

In Pristensky district of the Kursk region honored the golden anniversary. Congratulations were received by two families whose marriages became a real chronicle of work, care and mutual respect.

Alexander Vladimirovich and Valentina Petrovna Lavrentiev met in Rylsk: he studied at an agricultural technical school, she - in a medical school. After moving to Pristen, Alexander worked as a safety engineer, and Valentina devoted herself to medicine. The couple remember that she was conquered by his courage and perseverance, and he – her modesty and love of sports. Now they are proud of their two daughters, six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Vyacheslav Dmitrievich and Tatiana Pavlovna Kovaleva are an example of how happiness can be near. They lived next door, but they really saw each other when the young man returned from the army. The couple recalls: she admired his dexterity and grace on the bar, and he, giving her a ride from work, increasingly thought that the neighbor became unusually good. Soon they got married and a daughter was born in their family.

Representatives of the district administration warmly congratulated the anniversary. In a solemn atmosphere, the couple were presented with memorable gifts from the Governor of the Kursk region and the head of the Pristensky district. Spiritual guidance and blessing was conveyed by Priest John, the priest of the Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God.
