What’s the secret formula for a long-lasting, happy marriage? One couple from Nebraska surely knows it as they just celebrated their 60th anniversary in their original wedding attire.

    Lucille wore her gorgeous lace gown that she sewed herself by hand and Marvin wore his black tuxedo with a matching bow tie, which they both wore on their special day 60 years ago. They first married in 1960 at a small Lutheran Church in Sterling, Nebraska when Marvin was nearly 29 years old and Lucille was 22 years old. Now, after they’ve been with each other for better and for worse, in sickness and in health, and raised 3 wonderful children together, they celebrate their love.

    “It was an absolute honor to be able to capture the love between such a special couple! While shooting their session, it was easy to tell just how much they care for one another. I had tears in my eyes behind my camera while shooting. They are such an amazing example of true love standing the test of time. Their session is one I’ll never forget!” says Katie Autry to Bored Panda about the magical photo shoot she had with them.

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.
