My parents were married 40 years ago this weekend.
They were just 20 years old at the time!

Here they are, more adorable than ever, on a recent trip to Italy:

  18. Oh stuff like this totally makes me tear up. Like when I see old people still holding hands after so many years together. That's a lovely series of photos, I only hope my husband and I are so happy together in 38 years. Congrats to your parents!

  21. These pictures remind me of my parents' wedding pictures. Same haircuts. Same clothing styles. Same era. They celebrated their 41st anniversary this past weekend.
