A Philadelphia couple is celebrating 80 years of wedded bliss.

97-year-old Mitchell Atkins and his 103-year-old bride Mattie were married in Jacksonville, Florida in 1930.

The couple raised six children after moving to Pennsylvania.

Mitchell says the kisses they still share are "magical" and that he still loves making his wife happy after all these years.
