A Congresbury couple will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary on Saturday.
Dave and Jackie Perry first met each other at a dance in Blagdon in January 1968.
Two years later the pair tied the knot on August 15 1970 – 50 years ago.
Since meeting back in 1968, three children – Nicola, Julie and Ian – along with six grandchildren have followed.
Nowadays, Dave and Jackie often enjoy roaming in and out of Exmoor together and both say the secret to their 50-year bond is ‘plenty of give and take’.
