MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WGNS) - This past weekend marked a joyful milestone at The Villages of Murfreesboro Senior Independent Living and Memory Care — the community’s very first wedding.

Residents Bob and Linda Clarke tied the knot on Saturday afternoon, April 26th, surrounded by friends, family, invited guests, and the caring staff who helped make the event unforgettable. Both Bob and Linda are residents at The Villages and quickly became friends after moving in. That friendship soon turned into something more, and their love story has now taken a beautiful new chapter.

The ceremony was held on-site at The Villages, which was transformed into a charming wedding venue for the day. The entire event — from the catering to the decorations — was thoughtfully arranged by the staff, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for the couple.

Residents and staff alike were thrilled to take part in the celebration, showing that love knows no age and that new beginnings can happen at any stage of life.

Now, the newlyweds are enjoying their first week as husband and wife, receiving warm congratulations from their community.

The Villages of Murfreesboro is proud to have hosted such a meaningful event and wishes Bob and Linda Clarke a future filled with happiness and love.
