On Saturday, Jan. 14, Tryon Estates couple Ernest and Mary Floyd celebrated two milestones: a 75th wedding anniversary and a 100th birthday.
Ernest turns 100 this month and his wife, Mary, will be 94 years old on Feb. 10. The couple, married on Valentine's Day in 1942, say the secret to their love and longevity is remaining active both physically and mentally, and being "best friends."
Family and friends in attendance at the party at Tryon Estates created a scrapbook of photos and chalk canvases, detailing sports to major events, for the years Ernest and Mary were born.
