These Grandparents Had A Photo Shoot To Celebrate Being Together For 63 Years

Just some casual true love.

Wanda and Joe have been married for 63 years.

They met when Joe saw Wanda walking on the street, pulled over, and asked her on a date. They were engaged on Dec. 28, 1950, and married two years later.

To celebrate their ridiculously impressive longevity, their granddaughter Shalyn Nelson gave them their own photo shoot.

"This right here is my heart. This right here is the most important thing I have ever been a part of and put together."

"They are without a doubt the best people I know. I call them my heroes."

As part of the shoot, Nelson asked them to write love letters to each other so they could read them aloud, and they were perfect.

"Dearest Wanda, it’s been a long time since I have written you a letter. I think it was when I was working in Canada, that I wrote you last. Anyway, I still love you just as much, probably more."

"I love you as much today as the day I married you. And just think, the license only cost $2."

"The best bargain I ever made."

Oh my gosh.
