The Rangiora couple, who will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary with family and friends on March 16, still have clear, fond memories of their first meeting at the station. The couple married a little over two years later, on March 16 in 1956, at Dunedin’s First Church and spent their honeymoon in Oamaru. Ted and Irene McCreath have fond memories of meeting at Milton's Railway Station. Ted left the Navy before he and Irene married and the couple originally lived in Milton, where Ted drove trucks for a living.
