This couple wore their wedding outfits again 50 years later on their anniversary

How adorable is this?

We love to see people happily married and there is something truly special about seeing love last for so many years.

Carole-Ann and Jim Stansfield have been married an incredible 50 years. They celebrated in a very unique way.

The couple’s granddaughter Hayley found their wedding outfits hidden away and she begged them to try them on.

The couple hadn’t worn them for 50 years since their special day.

Carole-Ann told the Daily Mail:

”Jim went up and dug them out – Hayley insisted we put them on, but I said no – they’d been in the loft and they were dusty and smelly.

But she begged and pleaded, so we did it for her – we were gobsmacked when we discovered they still fitted perfectly.”

But Carole-Ann, now 71, and Jim, now 74, decided to try the dress and suit on again.

The outfits had not been worn since 1966 but amazingly they still looked incredible and timeless.

Since the outfits fit so well and the two looked so lovely, they decided to wear them at a golden anniversary party, where guests were understandably in awe of the wonderful couple.

Just look how amazing Carole-Ann looks in her stunning dress.

Jim shared their secret to a lasting love:

”we both have a lot of respect for each other and we have a lot of laughs, and that’s why it works.”
