76 years of marriage!
And they still love each other.
In this day of living together, quickie marriages and even quicker divorces, we seem to be surprised when we hear of 25th wedding anniversaries (I’m coming up to 24 this October!). Then, we hear of couples making it to 50. But what about a couple who married in 1933 - making their marriage 76 years long and - according to them - going strong.
Fred (94 years) and Dorothy Lalonde (90 years) married on April 1, 1933, when Dorothy was only 13 years old, with 16 cents in their pockets. Their post-wedding treat, across the street at a local restaurant, came out to 15 cents.
