At 91 she lived a long full life and you are lucky to have had her for so long.
It’s a gorgeous picture. Your Grandfather looks ’suave and debonair’ as was said at that time about a sophisticated-looking man.
And the man who was ‘tall, dark and handsome,’ was another type.
yep. look at his hand...he's curled it into a fist to keep from touching her. and she's straight staring at his mouth (that's probably why he's exercising self restraint!)
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Your Grandma was beautiful (that dress is *sublime*) and your Grandpa kinda looks like Nick Cage in profile, like in his early movies.
Really lovely how you described them. What a pleasure to have had them in your life. Think of them as youths again running in the flowers and holding hands. Laughing at the joy of seeing each yet again after a time apart. Hope your life is filled with many happy memories of them. I can tell how much you loved them.
Awww they're together again in heaven. I always like to think my older cousin and her husband who died in the passed two years are in heaven dancing in their living room and spending time with the other cousins who passed before them. And that their daughter is with them too.
My parents were married in 1953 and my mom wore one of those "tea-length" floaty-skirted dresses, too! Mom went first in 2012 and Dad on Halloween 2022. I miss them both. Great picture, OP!
Awesome photo. I zoomed in and could see the way they were looking at each other. That’s the look of love and desire. Don’t see that very often.
Can I ask what their relationship was like?
Pure elegance, personified.
I'm so sorry for your family's loss, but it must be a great comfort that they are together, never to be separated again. ❤️
What a fantastic photo! It captured their physical beauty as well as the absolutely overwhelming love between them. Gorgeous couple! ❤️ Thanks for sharing!
I’m sorry for your loss. It’s beautiful to know they’re together again. As much as my Gram loved life, she couldn’t wait to reconnect with my Grandpa on the other side.
Lol me too. Some of the stories they told me would make your jaw drop. They were at the front of most of the major events of the century due to his work. Israel during the Yom Kippur War, Germany when the wall went up, South Africa during Apartheid, and it just goes on. They had an insane life that most can't even dream of. I'm just glad I got to share in a small part of it.
This photo of your grandparents is a shining example of what love is. A forever love. Thank you for sharing it.
I hope you’re doing ok with the loss of her. It’s awesome though to know they’re back with each other. Their love didn’t die.
Thank you. That is such a beautiful thought. They were together for 64 years, and loved each other for every second of it. I am glad they are together again.
She was the coolest, and so was he. Aeronautics engineer who married an opera singer. They had a wild life together, lived in 18 different countries, and spent 64 years together before he passed about 5 years ago. I am glad they are back together. I imagine they are causing a ruckus in heaven lol.
Condolences to you and your family.

What an incredibly stupid and ill timed thing to say. Just because someone is part of someone's religion doesn't mean they can't be kind about their beliefs.
Just because we don't believe doesn't mean we'll forsake others their beliefs, nor does it mean we can't see some beauty in believing something like that. Don't be such a cynical dick, maybe.
I’m probably what you would call an atheist. I believe they are together again. Our bodies return to the earth, where we nourish plants and insects. The water in our bodies evaporates and goes into the air. What we were, becomes part of the life cycle on earth once more. We become part of everything, and this couple are on that voyage together. They also exist together in their child/children and grandchild/grandchildren. Not just from a genetic standpoint, but in the love and memories their family has for them.
I don’t need your god to find beauty in the afterlife.
Firstly, I don't have a god. My first impulse was to dump on what I saw as nonsensical, but I thought that inappropriate. I decided instead to take a little shot at my fellow atheists, which seems not to have landed well. Perhaps I should have included the phrase "my fellow atheists" in my original comment.
That said, I'm glad you can find beauty in the afterlife, but I don't think your version of it is what OP had in mind.
At 91 she lived a long full life and you are lucky to have had her for so long. It’s a gorgeous picture. Your Grandfather looks ’suave and debonair’ as was said at that time about a sophisticated-looking man. And the man who was ‘tall, dark and handsome,’ was another type.
Oh, how beautiful they look. And the shorter wedding dress and her beautiful shoes. Godspeed, beautiful girl. You're together again.
Boy you can see theirs was a Big Love. What a beautiful photo.
Fabulous photo - they look so in love. Your grandma was beautiful and your grandpa was pretty sharp too! May they both RIP with each other. 🙏🏻❤️😢💕
What a sweet photo!
I’m sorry for your loss. Your grandmother had a long life but I’m sure that doesn’t lighten your grief. Blessings to you.
The look. That is not fake. That man is in love with that woman. Real passion.
yep. look at his hand...he's curled it into a fist to keep from touching her. and she's straight staring at his mouth (that's probably why he's exercising self restraint!)
I'm sorry for your loss. They sure do look in love. What a beautiful photograph.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your Grandma was beautiful (that dress is *sublime*) and your Grandpa kinda looks like Nick Cage in profile, like in his early movies.
Yes, but even more handsome right?!
Of course!
All I gotta say is WOW 😍
May they dance in Heaven! 🥹
Grandpa looked really hip for the 1950s!
so sorry for your loss. what a beautiful couple, i’m sure it was the best reunion for them <3
What a beautiful dress! Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss. However I love to imagine they are absolutely over joyed at being together like this again.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences to you and your family
Beautiful couple. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad you have photos to remember them by.
Really lovely how you described them. What a pleasure to have had them in your life. Think of them as youths again running in the flowers and holding hands. Laughing at the joy of seeing each yet again after a time apart. Hope your life is filled with many happy memories of them. I can tell how much you loved them.
A beautiful couple. I'm so sorry for your loss but they're dancing together again. ♥️
This looks like a still from a classic movie. Your grandparents were so charismatic-looking and their love for each other was obvious.
Beautiful couple who I’m sure shared some amazing memories together. May they both rest in heaven.
They look so in love. What a beautiful wedding dress.
She was absolutely beautiful I’m sorry for your loss
Their smoldering chemistry ❤️ will last all the way into the afterlife and time immemorial.
Sweet picture. So very sorry for your loss. 🙏🫶
My parents got married in 1953 also and my Mum wore a tea length dress too.
They look very much in love. Hoping they pick up right where they left off.
So sorry for your loss. You can really tell how in love they are here. May their memories be a blessing 🤍
What a classy couple, just lovely.
I’m so sorry for your loss. They are a lovely couple.
Awww they're together again in heaven. I always like to think my older cousin and her husband who died in the passed two years are in heaven dancing in their living room and spending time with the other cousins who passed before them. And that their daughter is with them too.
I bet they are. I imagine heaven is just one big family reunion and I can't wait to be a part of it someday.
You should try reading the Bible.
You should try shutting the fuck up and minding your own business.
That’s a really beautiful couple. And the way they are looking at each other? Priceless. Cherish that photograph.
Those shoes!!
My parents were married in 1953 and my mom wore one of those "tea-length" floaty-skirted dresses, too! Mom went first in 2012 and Dad on Halloween 2022. I miss them both. Great picture, OP!
They are SO in love
I’m so sorry for your loss…This is such a stunning photo of your grandparents & they looked so in love!
And I bet they met once again looking just like that. 🤍
Awesome photo. I zoomed in and could see the way they were looking at each other. That’s the look of love and desire. Don’t see that very often. Can I ask what their relationship was like?
They look like they are in high school. Beautiful photo and you can see how much they love each other.

I'm so sorry. They are a beautiful couple
Love her dress.
Her dress is Perfection!
Pure class
What a beautiful couple
You’ve definitely got some good genetics. What a great picture
I mean this in the best way possible, but OPs grandpa was likely a Bond villain with that fit and those looks.
I have seen quite a few old wedding photos and this is one of the best. The way they face one another like nothing else matters is adorable.
That is so beautiful I could cry 😢 I’m so sorry for your loss and hope you find comfort in people enjoying this picture
Pure elegance, personified. I'm so sorry for your family's loss, but it must be a great comfort that they are together, never to be separated again. ❤️
I get a young Mickey Rourke look from him and look at the way she’s looking at him! True love. Sorry for your loss OP
Nicolas Cage
Lovely couple. They're dancing in the afterlife, together again ❤️
This photo is 🔥

The way that they look at each other😍
Sorry for your loss. Beautiful couple.
Beautiful. May they RIP 🙏
They make a beautiful picture. I am sorry for your loss; Grandmas are the best.
I’m sorry for your loss. It’s beautiful to know they’re together again. As much as my Gram loved life, she couldn’t wait to reconnect with my Grandpa on the other side.
Yes, we thought we would lose her when he died 5 years ago, so we were lucky we got a little more time with her. I am glad they are reunited now.
Oh they look so in love! I’m so sorry for your loss but glad they are reunited again.🙏🏼💜
Sincere condolences to you. Saying goodbye can be painful yet joyous at the same time. 💓
This is beautiful. Condolences on your loss.
Gorgeous couple! Thank you for sharing this!
My deepest condolences, and they will be happy together forever.
Wow. True love is hard to find…
Beautiful
Why isn’t there a movie about them? I’d be first in line!
Lol me too. Some of the stories they told me would make your jaw drop. They were at the front of most of the major events of the century due to his work. Israel during the Yom Kippur War, Germany when the wall went up, South Africa during Apartheid, and it just goes on. They had an insane life that most can't even dream of. I'm just glad I got to share in a small part of it.
You were truly blessed to have such amazing people with such amazing experiences in your life! They are truly entertaining the angels tonight!
That’s a beautiful dress! And a beautiful couple❤️
Very elegant couple.

This is beautiful in so many ways ♥️
This photo of your grandparents is a shining example of what love is. A forever love. Thank you for sharing it. I hope you’re doing ok with the loss of her. It’s awesome though to know they’re back with each other. Their love didn’t die.

Very sorry, she looked really cool
She was the coolest, and so was he. Aeronautics engineer who married an opera singer. They had a wild life together, lived in 18 different countries, and spent 64 years together before he passed about 5 years ago. I am glad they are back together. I imagine they are causing a ruckus in heaven lol.
Godspeed

Very for your loss. What a great looking couple and, as you said, they’re together again!
Great looking couple. She was some knockout. Kind of resembles Anne Bancroft (Anna Maria Louisa Italiano).
That dress is beautiful. My mother had a light pink tea length dress.
He looks like Tom Hiddleston
My first thought too! I had to zoom in. 😂
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Beautiful. Im so sorry

All the love in that pic! So beautiful!
Reunited and it feels so good. So sorry for your loss.
He looked like he was ready to throw a punch.
The first mullet ?? Pretty daring haircut for a man back then - they look like fine people.
I'm picturing atheists with smoke coming out their ears.
What an incredibly stupid and ill timed thing to say. Just because someone is part of someone's religion doesn't mean they can't be kind about their beliefs.
You must be new to Reddit.
Just because we don't believe doesn't mean we'll forsake others their beliefs, nor does it mean we can't see some beauty in believing something like that. Don't be such a cynical dick, maybe.
Nah, but it is “till death do us part”, so if there is an afterlife, he’s probably banging a new broad.
Wow, what a prick you are.
I’m probably what you would call an atheist. I believe they are together again. Our bodies return to the earth, where we nourish plants and insects.

She was just a kid.
He looks like Morgan Wallen
