I love this story, and not only does it show that Cupid won and the Sheriff lost, but in the long run - true love really wins.  50 years later they are still together.  Not only that - but the parents knew the truth when they came back married - because they didn't say anything.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful love story with us. This is one I will not forget. heart

Isn't it though? They made it one month short of their fifty-seventh wedding anniversary when Bertha died.
