In his Syracuse house on a recent afternoon, he pulled the book from 1959 out of his basement. He was 39. Marvin flips to April 22. Halfway down the page, amid details about his travels, is this: met Ernst Schuh. It was a meeting that would change his life.

They two men found each other in the Abbey of St. Florian, an Austrian monastery.

They have been together ever since. Now, 52 years later, the music lovers with matching hearing aids are getting married. Today in Syracuse's City Hall, Mayor Stephanie Miner will perform the ceremony.

    • True, lasting love is such a rare and wonderful thing, how can anyone stand in opposition when two people find their love? Can we set aside the Elmer Gantry brand of religious condemnation long enough to just admire/silently envy their love?

    • Wish they had invited President Obama who is 'still evolving', and Rachel Maddow, who specfically on her show says she does not believe in marriage for LGBT, that their 'special relationships' are better.... but then she and Susan do not have children, that might change their attitude.
