Couple Celebrate 70th Wedding Anniversary With The Photoshoot They Never Had

Couple Celebrate 70th Wedding Anniversary With The Photoshoot They Never Had

An elderly couple celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary in style, with the photo shoot they never had - and it’s the most adorable thing we’ve seen all year.

Ferris and Margaret Romaire married on 24 November 1946, in a “simple” wedding and have no photos to commemorate the day.

“I’m sure people had cameras then but evidently nobody thought to bring a camera to our wedding,” Margaret 89, told ABC News. “We didn’t have weddings then like people do today.”

That’s why the couple’s granddaughter Amanda Kleckley, 34, arranged for a surprise photoshoot to celebrate their platinum anniversary.

The high-school sweethearts married in a 15-minute ceremony, followed by a reception at Margaret’s parents’ house.

And you can still see how much they adore each other today.

Happy anniversary to the Romaires!
