THEIR eyes met across the crowded dance floor at the iconic Cloudland Ballroom in 1967.
Alexandra Hills couple Rob and Darrylle Ward will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary on Saturday.
Rob grew up in Carina and Darrylle lived in Balmoral when they met that night in August.
After a three year courtship, the lovebirds married on March 14, 1970.
Rob started building their home in Alexandra Hills and they moved in two years later. Rob worked as an engineer on the ferry to Stradbroke Island for 20 years.
The Wards have a daughter and a son and are blessed with a grand daughter and a grandson.
Family time always came first and the Wards enjoyed many years of 4WD camping trips, caravan adventures and in later years cruising.
The couple will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with family and friends. Eight of the guests have been their friends for more than 45 years.
