And i'm not exaggerating.
Recently they hit the extraordinary mile stone of 60 years of marriage. Yep, 60 whole years.
Being the true, abnormally large, Irish family that we are, we immediately began planning a party.
Last weekend I ventured back home so that I could reunite with my entire family at the local golf club, a place which has housed some of our family's most memorable and fabulous soirees!
On Saturday night we all got dressed up to the nines and headed out to what was expected to be a night to remember.
The couple of the hour, looking as adorable as ever.
Outfit wise, everyone made a real effort and looked suitably glamorous for this charming little evening.
As you can see.
This beautiful lady is in fact my mum. Yes, I know she's stunning.
I got pretty into the dancing at the table once the live singer came out as a surprise for my nan and grandad.
As you can tell from the picture, my mum and dad were rather enjoying themselves too.
Such a beautiful picture of such a beautiful couple.
I can't begin to explain how much I admire these two. I can only hope and dream that I have a relationship which lasts as long as theirs has and is as strong as theirs is.
Eight children, eighteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren is quite an achievement.
Wouldn't you agree?
And to round things off in a far less professional and visually attractive way, here's a quick selfie I took of my outfit before I headed out.
My black shift dress is from Urban Outfitters, my shoes were a bargain from New Look and my amazing sequinned jacket is vintage.
Apart from the obvious exception above, all photo credit goes to my amazingly talented cousin, Jack Gormley.
I hope you enjoyed this little peak into my family life. I certainly enjoyed the evening!
Speak soon.
Jess
