“We just met out of the blue,” – B.C. couple celebrating nearly 70 years of Valentine’s

Inspirational stories leading up to Valentine’s Day are abundant, but few can match how true love has stood the test of time quite like long-time Chemainus couple Ejlif and Anna Mose. They’ll be celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary this year on June 9. Ejlif will turn 93 on June 9 and Anna reaches another milestone later in the year with her 90th birthday on Oct. 8. “We came to Canada, fell in love with it, Vancouver Island, and we’re still here,” enthused Ejlif.

With the family all grown up, Anna went out fishing with him for 10 years. >click to read<, and Congratulations!
