After falling in love with each other in 1973, the lovebirds said yes to each other for life on February 16, 1974. Fifty years later, they were reunited again in front of the mayor of Saint-Malo to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary.
A beautiful love story that has lasted for five decades already. It was in the northwest of France, in the emblematic port city of Saint-Malo, in Brittany, that Nicole and Pascal Lecler experienced love at first sight. The first and (probably) the last for this couple who formed in the early 1970s, as reported by the local branch of the site Actu.fr. A romance that began during an iconic funfair in the region. “We met in 1973 in Saint-Malo, during Sainte-Ouine. It was love at first sight. We were 17 then”remembers Pascal Lecler from the news site.

Quickly, the young lovers decide to seal their story in the bonds of marriage. But at the time, the majority was set for everyone at the age of 21: it was Valéry Giscard D’estaing who lowered it to 18 on July 5, 1974 after his election. A situation pushing the two lovebirds to begin tough negotiations with their parents in order to get married.
“From our love were born five beautiful children”
“Our parents didn’t want us to get married so young, but we ended up getting their agreement, which was essential at the time, because the age of majority had not yet been lowered to 18”, continues Nicole Lecler’s husband. A decision that the main parties involved, but also certainly their parents, do not regret since it allowed them to build a large family. “From our love were born five beautiful children, who themselves gave us eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren”the couple rejoices today.
