我那些感傷的照片顯示了這對(duì)已經(jīng)結(jié)婚68年的老夫婦永恒的愛(ài)

She was only 18 when she first laid eyes on him at a hospital, and he himself had only recently returned from serving in World War II as a Royal Engineer.

她在醫(yī)院第一次見(jiàn)到他時(shí)才18歲，而他本人剛剛從二戰(zhàn)中作為皇家工程師服役歸來(lái)。

As a photographer and visual storyteller, I teach my photography students to always look for stories that can give us hope and a promise that love can be eternal.

作為一名攝影師和視覺(jué)故事講述者，我教導(dǎo)我的攝影專業(yè)學(xué)生要永遠(yuǎn)尋找能夠給我們希望和愛(ài)可以永恒的承諾的故事。

When I got the opportunity to run a photography masterclass in Wales, I had to visit Mel and Vera to gift them images that would showcase their eternal love.

當(dāng)我有機(jī)會(huì)在威爾士舉辦一個(gè)攝影大師班時(shí)，我拜訪了梅爾和維拉，并送給他們一些照片來(lái)展示他們永恒的愛(ài)。

“I wanted him to be mine the moment I saw him, and I got him!” Vera (now 90) says as she blushes

“我一看見(jiàn)他就希望他是我的，我得到了他!”薇拉(現(xiàn)在90歲)臉紅地說(shuō)

72 years of being together (4 years of courting and 68 years of marriage) hasn’t weathered their love at all, as Mel (now 95) jokes back, “I would have got off sooner with a life sentence!”

他們?cè)谝黄?2年(4年的戀愛(ài)和68年的婚姻)，他們的愛(ài)情并沒(méi)有改變過(guò)，就像梅爾(現(xiàn)年95歲)開(kāi)玩笑說(shuō)的那樣，“如果知道我被判終身監(jiān)禁的話，我會(huì)更早離開(kāi)的!”

During the course of the photoshoot, I asked them what is the secret to a happy marriage, and they said, “You’ve got to stick at it. Stand by each other, always”

在拍攝過(guò)程中，我問(wèn)他們幸?；橐龅拿卦E，他們說(shuō):“你必須堅(jiān)持下去，永遠(yuǎn)互相扶持"

“Take the rough with the smooth, and as long as you’ve got one another, you can take on anything”

“既能吃苦，也能享樂(lè)，只要你們?cè)谝黄鹣嗵帲銈兙湍艹袚?dān)一切。”

Mel and Vera have overcome many obstacles in their lives together, one being this worldwide pandemic that has made them stay away from their children owing to social distancing rules

梅爾和薇拉在共同生活中克服了許多障礙，其中之一就是全球流行病，由于社交距離規(guī)則，他們遠(yuǎn)離了自己的孩子

However, even so, they strictly believe that having each other to lean on has been their biggest blessing in life

然而，即便如此，他們?nèi)匀粓?jiān)信有彼此可以依靠是他們生命中最大的幸福

Mel and Vera, forever united as one

梅爾和維拉，永遠(yuǎn)在一起
