Couple celebrates 72nd wedding anniversary with photo shoot at senior living center
BURLINGTON, Colo. -- An elderly couple from Colorado is taking the internet by storm after celebrating their 72nd wedding anniversary in style.
Leonard and Shirley Matties, both 91, dressed up for a photo shoot at their senior living center to mark the occasion.
The lovebirds pulled out all the stops for the camera -- with Shirley looking radiant in a pink gown -- lighting up her husband's face as she was wheeled down the hall.
It was all thanks to a certified nurses aide who organized the special date.
Leonard and Shirley have seven children and boatloads of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
One daughter said while Shirley has dementia, she had no problem recognizing "the love of her life."
