Every morning for the past decade, Brian Collins has brought his wife Val breakfast in bed. Seventy years into their marriage, it is one of the many small ways he still shows he cares.The couple, aged 92 and 89 respectively, are among the rare few in Australia who have made it to their platinum 70th wedding anniversary, which they celebrated earlier this month.They met at a bus stop in the Adelaide Hills in 1952."I don't know how he knew that, but he was right."In the early days, Val said they bonded over their love of horse riding.The couple were married in 1956 when Brian was 22 and Val was 19.The ceremony took place on a rainy Saturday evening so it would not clash with the day's football games."It poured, and poured and poured," Brian said.Brian relocated to the South East of the state before the wedding to start working in the forestry industry.The couple then lived in Nangwarry, Mount Burr and even New Guinea for a short time before eventually settling at Mount Schank where they started a cattle farm."We always wanted a farm right from the early days," Val said.But farming can bring its challenges, especially with a young family."It wasn't easy in the beginning … I was still working [in forestry]," Brian said.It was a whole family effort, according to Val, especially in those early years."Most wives are involved just as much There was a lot to do," Val recalled.For most couples, marriage comes with its challenges
