Harold Coleman, 90, sweetly kissed his 89-year-old wife, Ruby, on the forehead in one snap. In another shot, she lovingly rests her head on his shoulder.

Many have compared the Virginia couple, who married in 1952, and their love story to The Notebook, which tells of a love story that spanned six decades.

Just like the main character in the move, Ruby has dementia, and one of the few faces she still recognizes is her husband’s.

Photographer Megan Vaughan took the photos and shot the video of the couple.
