Jim and Joanne Morris of Blairsville, Georgia, celebrated 60 years of marriage on Nov. 20.

They met on Miami Beach in March 1960 and married that November.

They have two sons, two granddaughters and a great-grandson.

“It’s been a wonderful trip, and we wouldn’t change a thing,” they said in an email. Jim later confided that his wife recently told a friend, “It’s been 59 of the happiest years of my life.” When he reminded her they’d been married 60 years, she said, “I know.”
