Paddy and Susie have nine children - six daughters and three sons - and became proud grandparents to 16 grandchildren.
Their reception meal at Maghery had to be changed from hot to a cold after the electricity went off because of the weather.
Daughter Jacqueline Harrison added: “Their honeymoon was to be in Scotland but that too had to be postponed because the planes weren’t going out . All in all it was an adventurous day but they weathered the storm and made it to 60 years of marriage with their original bridal party still alive.”
