Adorable couple celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows

A couple in their 90s celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary - by renewing their vows.

Patricia Hoefling, now 94, and her husband John Hoefling originally met in the 1940s and enjoyed a life of happiness together.

John, who fought in Vietnam and Korea, and Patricia, a retired teacher, remained devoted to each other, so celebrated their platinum anniversary with a vow renewal.

The couple from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, got dressed up in their best outfits, walked down the aisle, did speeches and even shared a kiss.

They were watched by some of their three children, five grandkids and two great grandkids.

Granddaughter Shelby Hoefling, 31, from Alexandria, Virginia, said: "The ceremony was beautiful - it was such an amazing day.

"They really had the strongest love for one another."

They got married the first time on April 12 1947, and the renewal took place in 2017.

John died a year later, aged 93.

Shelby, who released the video to commemorate her grandparents, added: "Ever since grandad died, a part of grandma is missing.

"Their faith was very important to them both, and grandma has no doubt she'll see him again."
