Wedding Bells eventually for Berwick-upon-Tweed RNLI Crewman
Wedding bells eventually rang for Berwick-upon-Tweed Crewman Calvin Sutherland and his bride Lisa Blenkinsop.
Like many couples Calvin and Lisa had to cancel their wedding due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
On Saturday 29 May 2021 at 2pm at the Baptist Church Berwick- upon-Tweed, the couple were eventually able to say, 'I do.'
Everyone at Berwick-upon-Tweed lifeboat station, welcomes Lisa to the RNLI family, as spouses and partners serve alongside the volunteer crew, supporting them while they save lives at sea and waiting for their safe return.
The team wishes that Calvin and Lisa’s marriage be blessed with good health, wealth but most of all happiness.
