Married for 50 Years: Love Ever After

Sam and Grace Goldstein
Grace: "We met Labor Day weekend in September and he proposed to me two weeks later on my birthday. He took me to a French restaurant. My father and my brother and my sister objected because I didn't know him that well but instinctively as a Libra I felt that he was the right person. So they objected but I felt that it was the right thing. My feeling was that if I made a mistake it would be my mistake and I'd only have myself to blame. If I didn't marry him and I didn't meet anyone else that equalled the way I felt for him I would always blame my family. So I took it upon myself to say yes."
