such story is always so lovely and one wonders what does it mean by true love..

and in fact, though they have little years more…i am sure they are going to cherish each other more, much much more compared to those couples who are young and don’t really love their marriages

I am most certain you and The Norwegian will be as mushy as you are today, Redblur63! Expecting that you will be is the first — and possibly most important — step. I’ve always wondered at those individuals who made less positive assumptions about what married (or partnered) life would be like. Why combine lives at all if you think things will turn out so dire?

What a wonderful picture!

And a charming story. Love is not — as real people know, as opposed to the people who make movies — reserved for the young and beautiful. My parents, ages 70 and 72, have been together since she was 15 and he was 17 — and are still hopelessly in love.

(And I share Twistie’s happy mushbucket wishes to Redblur63 and the Norwegian, of course!)

(happy sigh)

I’m a total sucker for a good love story, so this makes my morning.

Redblur63, happy mushbuckets rock! I also think it’s a perfect description of my great aunt and uncle who were besotted with one another for more than fifty years. May you and the Norwegian share that sort of joy.

Thank you for such a beautiful story! True love knows no age. I love this couple for their hope and joy.

The Norwegian and I, while not quite so venerable as Bess and Win, are in our middle age. This is the happiest love we have ever known. I expect that when we are in our 80s and 90s we will still be the happy mushbuckets we are today!
