To look at, one would think that they are enjoying their Golden Years together, after a lifetime of building a strong marriage and long lasting relationship together but Fred and Silvia met a year ago on an internet dating web site and were married five months later.
Fred (75yrs), a local to Mount Tamborine said that like Silvia, he had been single for quite a number of years.
This would change, when a couple of years ago, his daughter taught him how to use the internet. In no time, he discovered a dating service that would change his life for the better.
“We had just started (on the dating web site) in November and we were both in our first week of use” recalls Fred.
“We spoke and I ended up going to Melbourne on the 20th of January and we’ve been together ever since.. After two days, I asked her to marry me and she took thirty seconds to answer.”
Fred and Silvia LeRoux exchanged wedding vows, on the beach in Broadbeach, on the 10th of April in a romantic wedding ceremony.
You just have to be around Fred and Silvia for a few seconds, to realize that they are like a newly-wed couple in their twenties. Their next step is to move off the mountain to Stanthorpe and continue on their in their lives of marital bliss.
