I shot a video that we posted on Valentine's Day featuring couples from the Victory Centre of Bartlett, who had each been married for over 50 years. The hour I spent there was the highlight of my week. On their way out of the interviews, I had each couple share a quick kiss for a picture. May we all be so lucky.
