TWO sweethearts have become the first couple to get married at an Palmers Green care home where they both work – and it was all a big surprise!
Mihai Marcu and Lavinia Marcu have worked at Brookwater House Care Home on Oakthorpe Road since it opened earlier this year.
The inseparable couple joined the home together after meeting nine years ago.
Their colleagues at Brookwater House loved their story so much that they decided to throw a surprise early wedding for the couple before they dash off to Romania to be married in their childhood home.
Home Manager Daniela Danciulescu was thrilled to act as officiant on the day - performing her first-ever wedding.
She said: “It was amazing and such a wonderful day; it was an honour to marry Mihai and Lavinia, and I wish the happy couple all the happiness for the future.”
Mihai said: “It was amazing, thank you so much!”
Lavinia added: “I was expecting a cake, but not a real wedding! Thank you all! This was the best surprise ever!”
Brookwater House Customer Relations Manager Amba Shaw said: “Mihai and Lavinia are such valued members of the team, and we have loved hearing about their wedding plans.
“Although they are married again in Romania, surrounded by their large families, none of us here wanted to miss out. We thought it would be a lovely idea to celebrate here at the home, too.”
The Brookwater House bridesmaids dressed in vibrant red, and everyone enjoyed an amazing cake prepared by the home chef with residents lining up with flower hair bands to make the big day special.
The wedding was a huge hit with residents, guests and staff giving the newlyweds a very happy send off.
