A love story
Posted: 24 Jul 2014, 08:2387-year-old Bob Phillips has published a heartwarming letter in his local paper to his wife to celebrate their 61st wedding anniversary.
You can read the whole letter in full further down. The pair fell in love over 60 years ago when they met at high school and married soon after.
Bob thought that writing the letter would be the best way to profess his continuing love for his wife after all these years.
Here is Bob’s full letter to Gail, it really is lovely:
Dear Gail,
I look at newspaper pictures of new brides every Sunday. I’m searching. I want to see if there is now or ever will be another bride as lovely as you. Been doing that since June 27, 1953. Actually, I already know the answer. There is not - and never will be to me - your equal in loveliness. On our wedding day you were the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. The delightful truth is that you still are. Happy anniversary, sweetheart. You’ve made me and you keep me the happiest and most grateful husband any bride could ever know. I’d gladly welcome another 61 years of marriage with you. Beyond that I pray we will spend eternity together.
All my love,
Bob
