Of all the images snapped during the original Woodstock weekend, one stands above all: a young couple huddled together in a blanket, standing alone in a sea of people lying on wet ground.
It's an enduring image of love, care and protection that earned iconic status through its placement on the cover of the original "Woodstock" album in 1970, as well as on the movie poster.
Forty years later, the couple in the photo - Nick and Bobbi Ercoline, both 60 - remain together. They married two summers after the fabled weekend, and they still live less than an hour's drive from the original concert site of Bethel, N.Y., and within spitting distance of where they both grew up.

How cute! Always nice to see a story of love enduring. Reminds me of my parents who were married a few years after Woodstock...they were totally 70s hippie kids who met when they were only 15 and drove a big yellow van around for their honeymoon. They were together until my father died earlier this year from cancer. Almost 40 years of blissful marriage for these summer of love kids, it definitely give you hope that love isnt just a fleeting emotion and that in a world where it seems divorce is the most likely outcome of marriage real love can survive.
