"My mother got us matching shirts when we were in high school -- well, I picked them out -- and we've been matching ever since," Rosemary Klontz told KOVR.

That was more than 65 years ago.

But their love story goes even further back. The lovebirds actually met in junior high school in Auburn, Washington.

"I thought she was the cutest little thing," Francis Klontz said of his wife. "By the time we were seniors, we started going together."

They will have been married 68 years next month, KOVR reported.

And every day  Rosemary Klontz picks out their coordinated outfits before they go about their day as "singing chaplains" who perform at their church and hospitals around their town.
