Double celebration
George and Emmelyn Stewart both hit the 80-year-old mark in June, but the celebration had to wait until August when family and friends travelled from New York, Atlanta and Florida, to surprise them at a function at the Terra Nova Hotel in St Andrew last Saturday.
The celebration was even sweeter as the couple celebrated 48 years of marriage on August 6.
Here are some highlights of the magical evening.
