Couple captivate in 68th wedding anniversary photoshoot
Ollie and Donald King from the US recently celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary together.
To celebrate the precious milestone, their granddaughter arranged for the pair to have a photoshoot together and the couple look beautiful in the images.
Photographer Paige Franklin shared the result on her Facebook page and explained how the adorable couple inspired her.
“This evening I got to meet two of the most kind hearted souls I've ever met, Ollie & Donald,” she wrote.
“They have been married sixty-eight years this September. They have lived on this farm for over thirty years, where they farm cattle and raise corn, soybeans, and tobacco. Donald has been a pastor for forty seven years, and Ollie has been a (masterful, in my opinion) quilter for over thirty years. (She quilted this piece in the photos many years ago). They have three children, and they are as alive and happy now as I'm sure they've ever been. I hope and pray that my marriage lasts through time like theirs has.”
“I asked him to tell me the one thing he was most proud of her for (It's a little trick I do in couples sessions) and he looked at me for a minute and looked at her, and he said "there really isn't just one thing. She's just amazing all around."”
Donald and Ollie’s 24-year-old granddaughter Ashley told ABC News that she wanted to arrange the photoshoot, not only for the couple but also so she could also have the images.
“I’m obsessed with them and I think they’re super adorable, even though I’m biased,” she said. “I really did it just for myself because I’m obsessed with them and I thought it would be great.
