'They said it would never last': Youngest couple who married days after their 16th birthdays are to celebrate their golden wedding

The adoring elderly couple Marie and George Lyons married just after their 16th birthdays and now celebrate their 50th anniversary. They met when they were 14, and fell madly in love in an instant. Although they faced many people claiming their relationship would never last, they obviously were wrong. The couple knew all along that their love would last forever and they both agree on the fact that love can conquer everything. Their son Tony also celebrates a landmark wedding anniversary, but his is “only” 30 years. The entire Lyons family, including children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, is planning on celebrating these dates in Marie and George’s garden.

What a picture perfect world!  Super sweet, but not every couple claiming that they were meant for each other actually survives 50 years of marriage. It's something to aspire to, but not many will actually make it to 50, or 30, or even 10. I hope this couple makes it to a 100 years, as a matter of speaking.
