90-Year-Old Women Get Married After Seven Decades Living Together
It's not a competition, but here's the best wedding that happened this weekend: 90-year-old Alice "Nonie" Dubes and 91-year-old Vivian Doyack got married in Davenport, Iowa after 72 years together. Vivian wore pink, Nonie wore taupe, and the two held hands in their wheelchairs during the ceremony.
According to the Quad City Times, Vivian and Nonie met in their hometown of Yale, Iowa and moved to Davenport together in 1947. Vivian was a longtime elementary school teacher and Nonie did payroll work. Nonie says of their romance: "We've had a good time."
The two have apparently visited all 50 states, all the Canadian provinces, and England.
The officiant Rev. Linda Hunsaker told attendees on Saturday, "This is a celebration of something that should have happened a very long time ago." Gay marriage was legalized in Iowa in 2009.
