As her cream satin dress was zipped up, she looked in the mirror and smiled. No, she might not have the same body as when she first married, but she still felt just as beautiful. She giggled feeling giddy.
Today she would be renewing her vows with Albert, her love for 50 years now. They were hosting it in their own home, in the garden. It felt just right. This was the first house they bought, where they raised their children and welcomed their grandchildren.
She paused, waiting for her time to go in. It was funny but, she felt just as nervous as the first time. All their friends and family were there, not just old ones but new faces as well, but she only had eyes for Albert who waited for her in the end.
Walking to him, she remembered all the lovely years they had been together. Their silly fights, their alone times, their first child, their hosted dinners and late nights. The tears and the laughters. They were a normal couple, with ups and downs, but she felt lucky that they were still in love and their passion never died.
There was no doubt in their hearts that they wanted to say ‘I do’ again.
True love survives.
