ASHLAND COUNTY, Ohio (WJW) — 93-year-old Dean Welch and 92-year-old Doris Welch are looking forward to their 75th Valentine’s Day together after celebrating 71 years of marriage.
The transistor radio wasn’t invented yet when they got married in 1952, but now as modern technology would have it, a cell phone video clip of them enjoying some good old-fashioned joking around with eachother has gone viral with more than 12 million views.
IT ALL STARTED WITH A WINK
The couple was at their great-grandson’s wedding in January when the DJ & Emcee Tony Mitchell asked them in front of the newly married couple, Braden Welch and Alyssa Thams, what the keys are to a long marriage.
Dean and Doris both shared a piece of advice that their great-niece, Lindsey Welch, recorded on her phone.
Nancy believes one of the keys to her parent’s seven decades together is that they share a sense of humor and joke around with each other, as you’ll see Dean do in the video below.
THE VIDEO GOES VIRAL: 12.6 MILLION VIEWS AND 740,000 LIKES
After Dean and Doris easily won, the last couple to keep dancing contest for those married the longest, they were asked for keys to a long marriage.
There are thousands of cute and kind comments about Lindsey’s post and some of them are from around the world.
WAR, BASEBALL, MARRIAGE, AND DAIRY COWS
Nancy said her mom (Doris) was going to sign a contract to play professional baseball until her dad (Dean) proposed and the couple got married in 1952.
CUPID HIT A HOMERUN
The couple has 5 children, 13 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren.
“They like going to church and still go to some of the family’s youth sporting events,” Nancy said.
