Love, laughter and happily ever after: Brian attends his son’s wonderful wedding

02 September 2025 News

At Three Bridges Nursing Home, the team are always going to great lengths to ensure that residents are making amazing memories which will last a lifetime. For Brian, the day he attended his son’s wedding alongside Senior Care Assistant Collette was one of the most magical days ever – we couldn’t wait to hear more about it.

At the start of August, Brian’s son Andrew and his lovely bride Collette made their vows to each other at The Parrs Bank Hotel in Warrington, surrounded by those who mean the most to them. The day was truly fabulous from start to finish, and the fact that Brian could be there with his wife Helen to celebrate the occasion made it all the more wonderful for the whole family.

Senior Care Assistant Collette told us: “Brian loved being with his family and just watching everything going on. He also enjoyed a small glass of prosecco as we toasted to his son’s happy future.”

Collette was made to feel truly welcome by everyone and is grateful to have been part of the celebrations. She enjoyed getting dressed up and eating the delicious food, but most of all she went home feeling delighted that she was able to help Brian be part of such an important milestone.

 Home Administrator Wendy said: “Collette has worked at the home for seven years and always goes above and beyond in providing high quality care with true compassion; she strives to make every single day marvellous for everybody.”

Brian has lived at the fantastic Warrington nursing home for one year now and likes taking part in lots of different activities. He especially enjoys visits from Rise and getting stuck into their exciting armchair exercises, and loves anything related to music! The highlights of his day though will always be visits from his family.

Wendy told us: “We recognise the importance of ensuring that our residents don’t miss out on important events wherever possible. We have hosted family parties in our lovely conservatory, had wedding photos taken in our garden and had live links set up so residents can watch live events from the comfort of their own room!”
