Gail Phillips, 79, may just have the most romantic husband ever. Bob, 87, wrote her a love letter for their 61 year wedding anniversary, and it will put your boyfriend’s loveliest ‘Happy Anniversary’ text message to shame:

“Dear Gail,

I look at newspaper pictures of new brides every Sunday. I'm searching. I want to see if there is now or ever will be another bride as lovely as you. Been doing that since June 27, 1953.

Actually, I already know the answer. There is not – and never will be to me – your equal in loveliness. On our wedding day you were the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. The delightful truth is that you still are.

Happy anniversary, sweetheart. You've made me and you keep me the happiest and most grateful husband any bride could ever know. I'd gladly welcome another 61 years of marriage with you. Beyond that I pray we will spend eternity together.

All my love, Bob”

We’re not surprised it’s gone viral, it’s so lovely! Now where did we leave those tissues?!
