An elderly couple from Iowa had the most memorable way possible to commemorate their wedding anniversary.

The woman, who was 97 years old when she got married, didn’t have a dress to wear, but she ended up wearing one for the recreation of her wedding, which happened 77 years later.

There is nothing that can match the delight of witnessing a couple who is madly in love be married.

Because of this, the employees at St. Croix Hospice in Iowa felt extremely lucky to witness an emotional reunion between Frankie King and her husband.

On September 16, 1944, King married Royce, who would subsequently become her husband. When she got married, she didn’t have a bridal gown because she didn’t own one at the time.

On the other hand, she was able to wear a stunning vintage white gown to her wedding, which was performed on September 24, 2021, by hospice employees.

The hospice staff couldn’t stop praising the adorable couple after the heartwarming reenacted wedding.Henry Michaelson, a photographer and employee of St. Croix Hospice, offered the following comments about the event:

Observing the passion with this gorgeous couple and the love and care that their crew put into planning this event for them, the photographer said, ‘Holding back tears behind the camera was difficult.’ You had a hard time keeping your tears back.

The couple’s daughter, Sue Bilodeau, attended as well and helped her mother get ready for the event.

In his Air Force uniform, King’s 98-year-old husband waited for his devoted wife at a temporary chapel decorated with flowers.

In response to a request from the hospice staff regarding the elderly couple’s wedding photographs, the ceremony was recreated.

King’s daughter Sue Bilodeau explained why her parents were unable to have a lavish wedding as follows:

‘We were married on a two-day notice while Dad was only on a short leave… before he went abroad in World War II,’ the mother recalled. And regrettably, we were unable to organize a large wedding due to time constraints.

The St. Croix Hospice staff has been providing King and Royce with care and assistance at their Oelwein home.

The hospice staff decided a few weeks ago to remodel their garden and make it into a location appropriate for 1940s-inspired weddings.

The couple’s music therapist joined in the fun by performing recognizable 1940s songs on the guitar and saxophone.

Kacie Derr, a different worker at St. Croix Hospice, described the amazing event in the following way:

I wish that everyone had been able to see the sparkle in her eyes. She told me she had a wonderfully brilliant glow.

King and Royce looked into one other’s eyes as they held hands and kissed in front of the flower-draped archway for the camera.

Bilodeau went on to explain that her father had the biggest smile ever and couldn’t stop grinning when he first met her mother.

The Kings, who have two children, four grandchildren, and a sizable number of great-grandchildren, relived the most crucial day of their lives—their wedding—in front of a large crowd.

Netizens enjoyed the happy reunion a lot, and many were eager to express their unvarnished sentiments.

It was true what someone said when they commented, ‘Breathtaking moments recorded in so many different ways.’‘This is one of the most gorgeous things I have ever seen,’ remarked a second person.

I would want to thank the hospice and everyone else who helped to make today such a beautiful day. Tears began to well up in my eyes. Lovely!!”

Another person praised the hospice staff’s compassionate treatment and said, ‘What a wonderful pair!’ ‘We appreciate Hospice’s staff for making their day one they will never forget,’ they said.
