Royce and Frankie King said "I do." And 77 years later, they had their wedding photos taken. When the Kings celebrated their 77th anniversary on Sept. 16, St. Croix Hopsice staff asked where the couple's wedding photos were. "Mom had mentioned, 'We got married on a two-day notice while Dad was just on a short leave... before he went overseas in World War II. We didn't have time to plan a big wedding and we didn't have a photographer,'" their daughter, Sue Bilodeau, said. Weeks after that anniversary, the St. Croix staff transformed their backyard in Iowa into a site for a 1940s-style celebration — complete with a photographer to document the special day. Frankie, 97, wore a vintage wedding dress St. Croix staff bought, while Royce, 98, wore his airforce uniform. When Royce saw Frankie in the wedding dress, he had "the biggest smile in the world." 📸: Hilary Michelson / St. Croix Hospice, Special to the Des Monies Register
