Mary Ann and Vanni Pule’ celebrated 43 years of marriage yesterday. Vanni, known to many for his magic tricks, took to Facebook to announce the news with a punchy message.
“43 years of marriage today and no sign of parole,” he joked, posting about the wedding anniversary, which raked in hundreds of well wishes from fans and friends.
The couple became an item in April 1971 and got hitched five years later, when Vanni was 26 and Mary Anne was 21. “I never really proposed – it was more like we drifted into it and decided together when we came across the right house,” Vanni told OurWedding a few years ago.
Their wedding took place at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Church in San Gwann, followed by a reception at Palazzo Parisio in Naxxar, which was attended by about 600 guests! Since then, the couple have had two children, Konrad and Davinia, and have four grandchildren: Zack, Julia, Norah and Gregory.
