Some marriages stand the test of time and one Coon Rapids couple is living proof.

Wednesday marked the 70th wedding anniversary of Joe Waselak and Barb Hanson-Waselak.

The couple was married on Nov. 11, 1950.

"We feel very fortunate and blessed," they said.

They have eight children, nine grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren, with two more on the way.

They said the secret to a long marriage is having a strong faith and having the same values.

"Hang in there together just be there for each other," Hanson-Waselak said.
