Lisa and Jon had been together 28 years when they tied the knot last December.
There's something pretty extraordinary about witnessing two people who've already shared the best part of three decades, stand up and make promises which they'll carry with them into their next however many years.
And they didn't seem weary. They didn't seem jaded. They seemed as fresh and full of love as any of my younger couples.
I asked them what they adored most about each other and when they each sent me their words, I was in pieces. Here's just a snippet of what Lisa shared:
"I love you because of your wonderful sense of humour – sometimes you make me laugh so much I have tears rolling down my face and I can hardly breathe! I love that you take photos of people’s dogs on the tube and save them on your phone to show me later, because you know it’ll make me smile. I love that we both repeat lines from our favourite comedy shows together, because we automatically know we’ll both just get the joke. And most importantly, I love that you can make me laugh at myself and help me to see the funny side of even the toughest situations.
I love you because of your sense of adventure – your curiosity and passion for discovering not only the world around us, but the whole universe. I love how inspired you become when you talk about quantum physics and dark matter. And you’ve tried on so many occasions to explain Einstein’s theory of relativity to me. Maybe you wonder why it is that after all this time I still don’t understand it. I think the truth is I’m not sure I really care about understanding it, I just love seeing how animated you get when you try to explain it to me."
