Wedding And Marriage
PexelsIt’s easy to have a wedding. All you need are two people in love, a pair of wedding rings, and an officiant; but being married and fighting for your marriage is a lot more difficult and challenging because you have to do it every day, for years and years to come.
A beautiful couple from West Virginia named Lorraine and Ulysses proved that true love and happy marriages do exist as they celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary.
How They Met
PexelsThe couple first met when Lorraine from Boone County visited Sissonville. She saw Ulysses, and “accidentally” dropped a bucket of water she was carrying from the town well, hoping that the handsome man was going to help her.
Ulysses did help the young woman. Eventually, they got together and tied the knot shortly after World War 2 ended. It was a simple but beautiful wedding where Ulysses was wearing his dress uniform, and Lorraine was a stunning bride in her red 2-piece suit.
75 Years
YouTube, 9NEWSAfter 75 years, the couple decided to celebrate their marriage by having their dream wedding, with their families as their witnesses and guests.
A Beautiful Wedding

Still In Love

The Secret?
YouTube, 9NEWSUlysses and Lorraine gave a piece of advice on how to maintain a happy marriage. Lorraine said, “Be sure you love each other… and it’s a 50/50 thing. It’s not an 80/20 thing, it’s 50/50.”
