An Exmouth couple who met on a blind date have just celebrated 50 years of marriage.
Paul and Andrea 'Andy' Nye held a golden wedding anniversary party for a large group of family and friends at the Bath House on Saturday, November 11.
There was dancing to a live band, a buffet supper, and a special anniversary cake.
Paul and Andy met at the Red Lion pub in Elstow, Bedford in 1973 and were married just five months later. However, it was another year before Andy finally got her engagement ring.
They have two daughters, Nicki and Caroline, and enjoy a lively social life; they are particularly keen on fancy dress parties.
