Betty & Max

Betty & Max..

They have been married for 66 years.

Betty married Max when she was 17 & he was 20.. Her parents wouldn't give them permission to marry due to her age.. so they lied & told them she was pregnant so they would have to let them marry.. haha

They had to come clean when Betty didn't have a baby months later.. but they went on to have their first child 2 years later..

They raised 5 children together, & Betty proudly told me, that she has 22 grand children & 23 great grand children.

They originally got married in a registry office, so I went & picked Betty some flowers from my garden, & created some new portraits for them in the Fable Creative Studio & around the farm.

The love they have for each other is quite remarkable, especially after 66 years. They are soul mates.. & possess the kind of love that withstands time.
