Former Labor MLA Mary Porter and Ian de Landelles, who are enjoying retirement on Lake Macquarie near Newcastle, celebrated 32 years of wedded bliss.
They were married on May 16, 1992 in King's Hall at Old Parliament House, theirs the first wedding ceremony held in the building.
The anniversary brought lots of well wishes from their friends, near and far, including in Canberra.
"A number of our friends thought it hilarious that two Republicans would be married in King's Hall and then have their reception at the Royal Canberra Golf Club, where I was at the time a member," Ian told us, with a laugh.
