Jack and Kath Bradley have been married for 60 years and met when they began writing to one another in their twenties, the Derbyshire Times reports.<\/p>\n
Now aged 89 and 86, the pair have a daughter, three sons, three grandchildren and a great-grandson.<\/p>\n
They began writing to each other after seeing an advertisement in a magazine.<\/p>\n
"After exchanging several letters, they decided to meet in Sheffield and it was love at first sight. A six-month courtship led to engagement," the news source notes.<\/p>\n
Similarly, US soldier Richard Allen and his wife Marilyn fell in love after becoming penpals in their youth, the Jackson Citizen Patriot recently reported.<\/p>\n
They wrote letters during World War II before meeting up in person and falling in love and enjoying a long and happy marriage.<\/p>\n
