“She’s the only one I’ve ever had,” said Paul Miller. “It started out when I was 18 and it’s gone along just as great as ever.”
Their granddaughter Sarah Saragusa said Imogene wouldn’t marry Paul until he turned 20, so they wed on his birthday.
“Their story is really cute. My grandmother is actually a few months
older,” said Saragusa, 36. “She told my grandfather she wouldn’t marry
him until he turned 20 so they got married on his birthday. She wanted
him to be a mature man at 20 before they got married. They met at the Western Union,
he really pursued her. He’s always been the outgoing one and she’s very
sweet. He’s always said she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever
known.”
