Newlyweds at 90: Two Iowa Women Finally Marry After 72 Years Together BY ASSOCIATED PRESS 09/08/2014 AT 03:30 PM EDT

More than seven decades after beginning their relationship, Vivian Boyack and Alice "Nonie" Dubes have gotten married. Boyack, 91, and Dubes, 90, sat next to each other during Saturday's ceremony, the Quad-City Times reports. "This is a celebration of something that should have happened a very long time ago," the Rev. Linda Hunsaker told the small group of close friends and family who attended. The women met in their hometown of Yale, Iowa, while growing up. Then they moved to Davenport in 1947 where Boyack taught school and Dubes did payroll work. Dubes said the two have enjoyed their life together and over the years they have traveled to all 50 states, all the provinces of Canada, and to England twice.
"We've had a good time," Dubes said.

Longtime friend Jerry Yeast, 73, said he got to know the couple when he worked in their yard as a teenager. "I've known these two women all my life, and I can tell you, they are special," Yeast said. Iowa began allowing gay marriage in 2009. The two women say it is never too late for a new chapter in life.
I love this so much. Thank you for posting it. I wish these two beautiful women much happiness as a legally wed couple! How great is it that we made such progress in just a few years?

4Msrmyn, thanks for posting that E! True Hollywood story, went really well with my tea. " style="font-size:10pt;"] I would LOVE to see a full hour interview with Lynn Boyles, Adam's first music teacher. She's like you, cassie, she gives me background that fascinates me, and supports my feeling that he is a once in a lifetime talent. I have always thought that one of the reasons Adam touches me so lies in the work that he has put into this. Lynn's comments that at ten he wanted to know how his voice works, and especially my favorite comment, that he wanted to sing his emotions to her? It indicates to me that singing is in his soul, hardwired into him, and that all the rest , the joy, the rawness, the skill, the notes, all spring from that place, and we feel it. That he is one of those people born to do this one precious thing, and had the opportunity and the drive and the need to actualize it.
To me it goes beyond the technical, I know we joke about the Alien From Planet Fierce, but it sure is easy to live in that fantasy. There is just something about that boy, the totality of him, that seems unearthly. So, I would love to hear Lynn discuss all that, at length. It's the part of Adam that most compels me, actually, if I think about it. It translates into feels when I listen to him, but that core place, that primal thing, is so captivating to me. Absolutely agree with you about Adam's passion and drive to sing. Angelina Kalahari wrote several years ago about the absolute NEED to sing. "As a singer myself, I absolutely believe that singers are born that way. Our connection to our voice generally manifests itself in an overpowering urge to sing, usually from a very young age, and it drives us relentlessly on to develop our skills and to find the repertoire best suited to our instrument. Adam Lambert is a perfect example of a born singer. Not only was he born with an exceptional instrument, he started working on it from a very young age. On his site, NegativeNeil.com, his brother, Neil, talks hilariously about siblings, and how annoying it was for him as a youngster having to listen to Adam wildly improvising over songs on the radio all day long. Neil thought Adam was just showing off. As a non-singer he would not have understood Adam’s need to do that. Neil goes on to say that he understands it now, though. But for singers, this yearning to sing is typically so intense, that we feel as though we have almost no choice in the matter; that singing has in fact chosen us, not the other way around, and we must heed its call, or suffer excruciatingly. The necessity to sing is more than a passion: it is a need so strong, that if ignored, causes actual physical pain, but one for which there is no painkillers, because the pain is emotional and spiritual, but sits, nevertheless, in our physical body, alongside our voice." soundbath.wordpress.com/2011/05/30/broken-open-adam-lambert-the-agony-and-ecstasy-of-singing/ In the same way that singers have to sing, painters have to paint, and writers have to write. Some people have a talent that is so extraordinary, it's obvious to everyone what they were born to do.
