Couple celebrates 75th anniversary with wedding they never got to have in the 1940s

What is the benchmark that when you hear someone has been married that long, you think “Wow! That’s a long time!”?

Is it 25 years? How about 50?

Well, for one West Virginia couple, they made it 75 years and are still just as in love as when they first met.

Lorraine was a native of Boone County but was visiting Sissonville when she first laid eyes on Ulysses, where he was born and raised.

She had been carrying a bucket of water from the town well when she decided to ‘accidentally’ knock it over in hopes that the handsome young man would come to her rescue.

He did, and the pair have been inseparable ever since.

They married shortly after World War 2 ended and Ulysses looked spiffy in his dress uniform, while Lorraine looked beautiful in a red 2 piece suit.

However, it wasn’t the typical ‘wedding’ many couples dream about.

Little did they know – that would come more than seven decades later.
