Love birds, Dolly, 89, and Stan Izatt, 91, have been married for 70
years and have known each other for 74 years, and though they are all
lovey-dovey now, Dolly reveals that she did not love him at first. The
pair first met when they began living next to each other, but Dolly was
in love with Stan's best friend, never Stan. Two weeks after meeting,
Stan was already telling everyone that he was going to marry Dolly, but
she did not want same.
The couple got married in 1947 after Stan, a World War veteran, returned from the war. She was 19 and he 21 when they tied the knot. They went on to have 3 daughters, five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
‘When our grandson got married in May, Stan decided he would give him the benefit of his advice. He said to him in marriage you need love, you need trust and you need a lot of bleeding patience. And for once I agree with him and that doesn’t happen very often."
