It's a love story that many can only dream of. On December 26, 1954, the wedding bells rang for Aloisia and Wilhelm Wolfesberger from Alkoven in Upper Austria. A lot has happened since then, but one thing has remained the same: their love for each other. In an interview with "Krone", they looked back over the past 70 years and ahead.

"Krone": Let's just start at the beginning. How did you two meet?
Aloisia: We met for the first time in Aschach an der Donau. I was visiting and then we went dancing there. We got to know each other in a bar. I was 18 years old at the time. Then we saw each other from time to time. Everything happened slowly, I can't remember exactly.
Wilhelm: I was still working in Aschach at the time, I did an apprenticeship as a coppersmith after secondary school. Two years after our first meeting, we got married.
Aloisia : By then, our first daughter was already on the way, which is one of the reasons why the wedding took place.
