Vivian Boyack and Alice "Nonie" Dubes say it is never too late for people to write new chapters in their lives.
Boyack, 91, and Dubes, 90, began a new chapter in their 72-year relationship Saturday when they exchanged wedding vows at First Christian Church, Davenport.
Surrounded by family and a small group of close friends, the two held hands as the Rev. Linda Hunsaker told the couple that, “This is a celebration of something that should have happened a very long time ago.”
The two met in Yale, Iowa, where they grew up, and moved to Davenport in 1947.

Congrats ladies!! 
Mazel tov!
I am so glad this happened for them and for us. A symbol of love and hope for all of us.
I told her about these happy ladies and their long relationship. My wonderful MIL -her name is Rosie- was grateful to have lived long enough to see such things happen. She told us that back in the days when she was young parents would have repudiated their children had they admitted beeing gay. And that this is something she never understood: to punish someone for just loving a person. When our son told her that a gay friend of his was actually alienated by his own mother, Rosie shook her head and said "How can she! This ist the twenty-first century, isn't it?"
Congratulations to the newly wed from Germany!
