For wedding photographerAnna Behning, its much longer than that.
That is an exceptional length of time and deserves to be commemorated in a special way.

For the occasion, Nancy wore a dress purchased for $35 and a veil for $15.

This closeness to her family, particularly her grandparents, was a big part of Behnings life growing up.
My grandparents have been there for me since I was born, she tells My Modern Met.
They attended every concert, sports game, and extracurricular event that they could.
I was also blessed to go to college in the same town that they live in.
I would spend lots of nights at their home doing laundry or eating grandpa’s famous steak.
So being this close to my grandparents made this photoshoot even more special.
While every marriage is different, Melvin and Nancy have some valuable insight into their long union.
