There are few things we love more than stories of true, life-long love — yes, even more than weddings! That’s why we couldn’t resist sharing this video that has been making its rounds on the internet lately — if y’all haven’t seen it yet, now is the time to sit down with some tissues and take a look. Fred Stobaugh is a 96-year-old gentleman who entered an online singer-songwriter contest (via a manila envelope in the mail) on a whim, after penning a tune for his late wife, Lorraine. This touching video by Green Shoe Studio tells the whole story of how “Sweet Lorraine” came to be…

Where do we even begin? This is the kind of love that we live for around here. It is truly inspiring to see the way Green Shoe Studio turned this song into such a beautiful tribute, and then gave the world the opportunity to celebrate Fred and Lorraine’s love story. Whether you’re newly engaged or have been married for decades, we hope this touched your heart the way it touched ours!

Oh my goodness. This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen, and it’s one of my favorite Southern Weddings posts. The kind of love Fred and Sweet Lorraine shared is the reason why I love weddings. Thank you for sharing this and for making me cry! : )
This is so much sweeter than anything I have ever heard… Thank you so much for sharing this Lisa! These days life-long love seems to be a distant memory, it is such a precious gift. Life-long love isn’t about the extravagance of the wedding but it’s in the fullness of a marriage through God. Bless y’all, happy monday:)
