A COUPLE discovered love among the test tubes and microscopes and are now celebrating their Golden Wedding anniversary.
Brenda and Bryan Suitter, from Burywick, Harpenden, met in 1952 in the laboratories of St Albans City Hospital where they were both working. But it was not until a year later that the couple went on their first date.
Mr Suitter took his bride-to-be to the Covent Garden Opera which is a pastime they still enjoy.
They got married in what was the United Reformed Church in Harpenden on September 10, 1955, when Barbara was 20 and Bryan was 23.
Mrs Suitter said: “It was a fairly quiet wedding with just family and a few friends. Not like the kind of weddings you have now.”

Christopher Hampton proves to be a trump card for the Donmar again. His Tales From Hollywood, revived four years ago, was outstanding. And now The Philanthropist, with Simon Russell Beale playing the titular spineless don, is a brilliantly entertaining and startlingly poignant evening - surely one of the best productions of 2005. On paper, it may sound slightly tiresome: a satire from 1970 set in academe, written as a response to Molière's The Misanthrope. An egghead called Philip throws a dinner party, infuriates everyone by being over-agreeable, is seduced by a nympho then ditched by his vain fiancée, Celia. In
