Ever since Howard Attebery, 90, set his eyes on Cynthia Riggs, 81, sixty-three years ago, he knew he was in love.  In fact he never stopped loving her all these years.

As a single man approaching 100 years of age, he decided to send her a cryptic letter that stated "I have never stopped loving you" in code.  As for his return address, he wrote the GPS coordinates.

Cynthia, immediately knew who wrote the message and sought out to find Howard.  When they finally reunited after all these years, Howard did not waste any time.

“I held her hand, and within the hour, I’d proposed to her,” Howard said. “I knew. And she knew.”

The two love birds wed at Martha's Vineyard.  “He’s a romantic character, and he certainly knew how to win me over.”, Cynthia said.

And that's what's good,

Harold and Frences Gates are both 69 years young and have accomplished a ton in their lives.  They are now retired with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. 

Now after 51-years of marriage and a recent retirement, they are both ready for a new challenge...  College! 

After graduating high school in 1960, the Gates married not long after, and didn't have the opportunity to further their education.  Not only are they going to college, but they are currently 4.0 students at Lone Star College in Kingwood, Texas.  

We at GoodWorldNews wish the Gates well as they are expected to get their associates's degree next year :-)

Have a great day, and let the Good News be Yours!

Brian Gargano and Jennifer Batugo are two love birds who wanted nothing more than to show their love and commitment through marriage.

Unfortunately, in March, when they began planning their August wedding, Jennifer was diagnosed with a rare aggressive form of breast cancer.  The doctors told her that she may only have a few months to live.

Instead of calling it quits and giving up, the happy couple decided they would move their wedding to April (on month away!) and have a beautiful intimate ceremony…but how could they pull it off in a month?

Brian called L.A. Wedding officiant Elysia Skye for help.  Unbeknownst to Brian, she was a breast cancer survivor herself who runs a breast cancer support organization.  She was so moved by the couple's story, that she decided to throw them their dream wedding.

Skye started a fundraiser which received $18,000 in donations for the couple and she contacted numerous organizations which collectively donated everything they needed for a gorgeous Japanese garden theme wedding!  The entire wedding and planning was pulled off in only 10 days!
