LOOK: Couple celebrate 60th anniversary with photo shoot in their original wedding outfits

For Nebraska couple, Marvin and Lucille Stone, celebrating 60 years of marriage was quite a feat.

Instead of letting the day pass as just another wedding anniversary, they decided to mark the milestone by re-enacting their special day.

In celebration of their diamond anniversary, photographer Katie Autry took outdoor portraits of the couple in their wedding finery – including the outfits they wore when they said “I do” 60 years ago, Fox News reported.

The pictures were posted to Facebook and soon went viral.

Love 💕! These two are such a wonderful example of love ! I had the pleasure of working with Marvin and Lucille to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary . This may be one of my favorite sessions to date <3 ! These two lovebirds even wore their original wedding attire for the session ( Lucille made her dress)! When I asked them both what their secret to a lasting marriage was they had the following advice. 1. Work hard 2. Be kind to one another 3. Think before you speak 4. Rely on each others strengths to overcome your weakness 5. Stay strong in your faith What an amazing example these two are of true love standing the test of time. I am so glad to have met them, and honored to have captured these memories for them. Happy Anniversary Marvin and Lucille !! Cheers <3 <3

“My dad cried. He was the only one that cried," she told KHGI-TV as she recalled their wedding day.

"My mother beamed and they both thought Marvin was just perfect, and that does help when your parents like the person that you’re marrying.”

On why their union has lasted so long, Marvin, 88, said: “We both had farm backgrounds. We both were free enterprise people and we had similar goals in life, and we were both in teaching.”
