This couple appear to have had a love story which lasted through all seasons.  Last photo on this link is quite poignant ..

That is a lovely story, and no sign of a selfie stick.

Slightly off topic but four years ago I remember seeing a selfie stick in action for the first time. I could not believe it and actually had to take a photograph of it being used.  Technology for people who can't be bothered to work out how the self-timer works on a camera.

Charming photos and they look a very happy couple.

The last one just brings it home to you that someday one half of relationship will be left alone.

Feeling chocked now,

Thank you Martin and Dorrie for your posts.

I agree in that I think this is a lovely and charming story although somewhat bittersweet as the man is posing on his own in the last image.

It certainly is a good reminder to appreciate what we have now - especially our relationships.
