A South Dakota couple married for 70 years celebrated the incredible milestone with a romantic photoshoot, and the bride wore her original wedding dress.
Nancy Lubbers, 87, dusted off her $35 white lace gown for the heartwarming shoot with her husband, Melvin, 91.
The lovely pair first met at a skating rink, and Melvin later proposed at a ballpark. The teenage sweethearts married on Jan. 6, 1952, when Nancy was just 16 years old.

Seven decades later, the pair have five children, with their ages ranging between 67 to 54. They are blessed with 12 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.
The family celebrated the couple’s 70th wedding anniversary in January this year. Their youngest granddaughter, Anna, a professional wedding photographer, decided to mark the occasion with a special photoshoot in the family garden….
