Springfield Couple Celebrates 67th Wedding Anniversary
Joseph and Ann Messina, longtime Springfield residents, were married on January 25, 1948.
Joe and Ann Messina celebrated 67 years of wedded bliss in Springfield, the same town they have called home for nearly 60 years. On January 25, 1948 the couple wed just days after a blizzard, similar to the storm that pummeled the east coast earlier this week.
How did they celebrate this milestone? The two had a quiet weekend at home as temperatures continued to chill outside.
The secret to 67 years of marriage — “We both love each other. That’s the most important thing,” Joe, 92, said.
