The War Abroad

Have you ever felt that frustration when you want the time to pass fast but it takes even longer than usual? Similarly, Joe and Beverly were way too excited to begin their new life but something dangerous took place abroad. The U.S military had been embroiled in a conflict with Korea and it was getting even worse. Though initially, it had no direct impact on their lives, soon only it brought a turmoil in their lives…

Surprising Events

Right in the beginning of their marital phase, the fate intervened. Joe was called for military services in the U.S and he had to leave immediately. Little did the couple know, that they would have to wait even longer to enjoy their wedding present and attach memories to it. They were married for a very small period of time and Joe’s leaving for the military camp broke their innocent hearts.

As they say, love finds its way even in the hardest times. After all, a lotus always blooms in a swamp.

Adieu To The Precious

Joe prepared for his military camp. It was obvious that he would be a part of the conflict with Korea. The young happily married couple had to now make themselves ready for Joe’s departure. It was even more hard for Joe to leave Beverly behind alone in the city. While they were just managing to cope up with all these sudden changes which took place in their fresh life. A bigger change burdened them. The couple had to sell some of their most prized possessions to make the ends meet in Joe’s absence. It took away with it something, which meant a lot to the couple. What was that special thing?

Long-Distance Marriage

Yes, you read that right. A “long-distance marriage and not a long-distance relationship”. After Joe left for his duty, the only way this newlywed couple communicated was via letters and telegrams. They would be telling their well-being and hoped that their spouse was healthy too. The cute little things make a difference in our lives and Joe and Beverly made sure they left no chance of making their partner feel special. They would be sharing their photographs from the past and would relive those memories, sitting very far from one another. Isn’t it cute? But that was not it…

The Story

Finally, months of wait and long distance was over and the couple reunited. Joe and Beverly were back to their basics and could, at last, begin with their married life, the way they planned. Joe returned to America safely from the war.

Joe and Beverly lived the life they desired. They had kids who grew up to become responsible and successful adults. Their kids were brought up hearing a story which was no less than a fairy tale. What was this story which shaped their parent’s youthfulness into responsibilities?

The Celebration

It was celebration time for the Smiths. Today, was there 60th wedding Anniversary celebration. Their children and grandchildren planned a surprise party for them. All near and dear friends were a part of the celebration to celebrate a milestone that this head over heels love infused couple had achieved.

The couple was absolutely unaware of the surprise which their friends had planned for them. What was that surprise which would make their special day even more special?
