SAME PLACE NEXT YEAR?

THERE'S AN OLD COUPLE WHO HAVE RENEWED THEIR WEDDING VOWS EVERY YEAR FOR 58 YEARS:

Oswald and Margaret Beauvoisin got married on December 27th, 1948, in Portsmouth England. The next year, Oswald was stationed in Bermuda with the Royal Navy. The year after that, he was back in England. So on their wedding anniversary, he and Margaret renewed their vows . . . and they've done it every year since.

That's right, Oswald and Margaret Beauvoisin have renewed their wedding vows every year for 58 years. And each time, they have a ceremony, where they remove their rings, are blessed, and then put their rings on again. Every year . . . for 58 years.

Now Oswald is 84, and Margaret is 81. This past December 27th, they renewed their wedding vows at a ceremony attended by ten of their 11 children, most of their 23 grandchildren, and their 13 great-grandchildren. (Daily Mail)
