A granddaughter took a photograph of her grandmother on her 60th wedding anniversary, and the picture quickly went viral on social media. For while the elderly lady’s outfit may only have cost $69.95, everyone at the event – and plenty of online commentators – agreed that she looked a million dollars.

Janith and Joe Goedde, from Haubstadt, Indiana, are an 80-something couple who are the proud parents to nine children and boast 25 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. But even more impressively, the pair have been man and wife for a very happy 60 years.

Yes, the Goeddes’ big day on May 11, 1957, at the Saint James Catholic Church in Haubstadt was a wonderful affair. In fact, the festivities were captured on a camera that Joe had bought while serving in the army overseas. The resulting pictures show a happy couple in their 20s with a stunning tiered wedding cake, while their bridesmaids wore colorful dresses and carried bouquets made of daisies.

But while their wedding may have been a modest event, there was something about that day that ensured they would become international news 60 years later. Indeed, it all started when a heartwarming image of their 60th anniversary celebrations hit social media. The tweet in question soon swept across the Twittersphere and swiftly went viral.

You see, the Goeddes wanted to mark 60 years of marriage with a special occasion. So in April 2017 they held a special celebratory mass at Saints Peter and Paul Church in Haubstadt followed by a get-together at the town’s Carriage Inn. It wasn’t a small affair, either, as more than 60 family and friends arrived.

Ahead of the ceremony, though, their granddaughter, Alison, took a photograph of her grandmother. And it was this image that was shared online and captured so many hearts. Indeed, people couldn’t believe how good her granny looked at the age of 80.

But a large part of this warm reaction was due to the outfit that Janith had chosen to wear that day. Yes, she had dug out her original, 60-year-old wedding gown, which in 1957 had the price tag of $69.95. And incredibly, all those years on, the dress still fitted her frame nicely.

Luckily, Janith had kept the precious item in a plastic bag, which meant that the dress had retained its freshness and color. So, 60 years on, the wedding-day outfit with a lace fitted bodice and pearl-like sequins was ready for a second appearance. And Janith looked absolutely stunning in the floor-length Chantilly lace dress.

The octogenarian was, unsurprisingly, delighted that the wedding gown she had last worn in her early 20s was still such a good fit. In fact, in May 2017 Janith told ABC News how she had actually lost some 40 pounds before the diamond event, and people had certainly noticed. “Everybody comments to me on it,” she said.

Still, it was one of her daughters who suggested she should get out her wedding gown ahead of the big anniversary. So, Janith had headed up to the attic to find the dress. And while she admitted it was a “little tight” at the time, she still later wowed everyone at the celebration.

Not least her appreciative husband, Joe. Indeed, Joe wasn’t keen on making a big fuss over their 60-year milestone at all. But he told ABC News that his wife looked “beautiful” after seeing her in the stunning wedding dress.
