Davy Moakes and Helen Andre’s young romance was brought to a halt by their parents 65 years ago. The young lovers, who met in art school, never got a chance to walk down the aisle in 1951, when Andre was told by her parents to end the relationship because they didn’t approve of Moakes being an artist.

“It broke both their hearts but in those days you did as you were told,” Andre’s daughter, Debbie Williams. told the BBC.

However, 65 years later, the star-crossed lovers finally got their happy ending when they exchanged the vows they couldn’t say all those years ago.
