Weddings are funny: you spend a fortune on a nice gown and a tux, only to wear them once and then store in a forgotten closet in your attic.

Not for Carole-Ann and Jim Stanfield.
This couple from Staffordshire, UK, celebrated 50 blissful years together by wearing the same outfits they wore during their wedding back in 1966.
The discovery that the pair were the same size they were decades ago came as a coincidence when their granddaughter, Hayley, wanted to see their old wedding pictures.
When Jim, now 71, rifled through stuff in their loft, he came across their old wedding clothes instead.
To the insistence of their granddaughter, the couple tried them on — lo and behold, the clothes still fit perfectly!
Hayley decided to throw her grandparents a party to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.
Carolle-Ann and Jim attended it in the clothes they last wore on October 1st, 1966 and they looked every bit as regal as when they first put them on.
50 years ago, the lovely couple went to Malta for their first honeymoon. And their second one? Turkey.
