- A true Valentine's story for all those who believe in everlasting love: Couple Celebrates 50 Years of Once-Forbidden Love Most couples who've been together for that long have all kinds of cute stories about meeting up at the malt shop, going on hayrides, prom dances, and other charming tales of 1950s-style love. Things were a little different for the Nelsons, though: When they went on dates, they met in secret, afraid they'd be arrested if they were spotted together. For years, they were forbidden from marrying, but when they finally eloped in November 1957, they told only their family members and close friends about the union. While most young couples held hands on the streets, parading their love before the world, Laurence and Lena were forced to hide their relationship behind locked doors. In an era of segregation and blatant racism, it was a dangerous time for an interracial couple to be in love.

- It's sickening, the fact that people have to hide their love from an entire society, as if it's some horrible thing. But the fact that the Nelsons made it through and are still together to this day is amazing and wonderful. However, I have a bit of a problem...their son's name is Nelson, right? Does that mean his name is Nelson Nelson?
