Paul and Marie Nice

Paul and Marie Nice on their wedding day, Sept. 27, 1948.

There’s nothing quite like the aroma of roasting almonds.

While at the Bloomsburg Fair on Saturday, my nose caught the scent of the fresh, delectable nuts before I saw the stand that was selling them. That stand was Nice’s Old Country Style Almonds from Tunkhannock.

My boyfriend bought a bag of the almonds and I happily sampled a few. Yum!

That very same day, the almond business’ owners, Paul and Marie Nice, of Centermoreland, were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.

In addition to Nice’s Old Country Style Almonds, the couple owns Nice’s Potato Pancakes and Nice’s Catering. Nice’s Potato Pancakes are often at local festivals and events, including the Back Mountain Memorial Library Auction.

That’s where I ran into Marie Nice this year. Marie was looking through items at the auction’s flea market when I asked her if she’d like to be in our weekly Man in the Street feature. She happily obliged. Marie’s grandson, Ryan Faux, of Tunkhannock, also participated.

Paul and Marie Nice were married Sept. 27, 1948 in Blessed Sacrament Church, Centermoreland, by the Rev. Stanislaus Kolucki.

According to the Nices’ wedding anniversary announcement, they were planning to celebrate with a Mass of Thanksgiving in Blessed Sacrament Church and a dinner celebration given by their children and spouses after the service. The Nices will also take a trip to New England.

Here’s a special congratulations to Paul and Marie on 50 years of marriage. You have my best wishes for many more happy and healthy years together.

And by the way, you have the best tasting almonds at the Bloomsburg Fair.
