In July 1995, a very special couple said "I do." Despite the doubters that disbelieved they had any chance at a happy future together and to function as a married couple, Maryanne and Tommy Pilling have defied the odds. They are a wonderful example of true love standing the test of time, even when people didn't support their decision to get married years ago.
Twenty-two years after they wed, Maryanne and Tommy are still going strong. They live next door to Maryanne's mom in Essex, with her sister and her family residing just a few houses down. They don't argue; they love each other unconditionally.
