If a kiss can tell, this one has more than six decades worth of stories.

"It was love at first sight," said James Gillespie.

It only took James and Elaine Gillespie one glance to know they were meant for one another.

In fact, they were married just four months after meeting and there are no regrets.

"Well it must have been right because it's lasted a long time," said Elaine Gillespie.

Two boys, three granddaughters, six great-grandsons, two great-granddaughters and one great-great-grand daughter later, they're still as close as ever.

"There's one thing that I have always practiced, I always tell her that I love her," Said James.

They've even been crowned royalty; king and queen of the Wisteria Place Valentine's Dance.

They owe all their success to one thing: making sure they express their love to one another..

"And I do a lot of kissing," said James.

And that's precisely their advice to any other couple.

"Never take one another for granted," said Elaine, "you know we say that we love one another and we know, I know that he loves me, but its nice to hear it. "

Sixty-six Valentines later, they're as happy as the first.
