Happy anniversary! Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter celebrate 76 years of marriage today

https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/happy-anniversary-jimmy-rosalynn-carter-celebrate-76-years-marriage-today/U2Y7RNK5QVBJ5EGYLYY4CMADGY/

Georgia’s favorite couple is celebrating their 76th anniversary today: Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter were married on this day in 1946.

The young midshipman needed a date one evening while he was home from the U.S. Naval Academy, so his younger sister paired him with a family friend who already had a crush.

After their first date, Jimmy Carter told his mother that Rosalynn was the woman he was going to marry. The Carters married on July 7, 1946 in Plains Methodist Church and are still together in the same tiny Georgia town where they grew up.
