When idealistic Hollywood couples like Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, or Anna Faris and Chris Pratt broke up, it felt like there is no hope left in the world. If people like that who are obviously so perfect for each other couldn't last, what hope do the rest of us have?

Worry no more. Perfect couples around the world have been recreating their old photos, and it's a beautiful reminder that love still exists. These people are #CoupleGoals and nothing, including time, can stop them from loving each other.

I don't know what's more impressive. The fact that this couple nailed their recreation photo or the fact that their '56 Chevrolet is still in pristine condition. It's almost as if they got older but the car got younger.

One thing we know for sure is that he's been the same height forever and his wife has slowly shrunk.

Neither of them can remember meeting at the wedding. They met again by chance in high school years later when she turned to him and said, "I think I have a picture of you on my wall at home."

If this isn't the definition of a ride or die, I don't know what is. Not only did she agree to get on that wildly unsafe motorcycle in her wedding dress with her garter showing and everything, but she got back on 40 years later and still fit into the dress!

By the look on his face in both photos, he knows he caught a good one.

Nothing much has changed with this couple except for the fact that he has turned into the ultimate dad. He left his oversized '80s glasses and puffy hair in the past, and replaced it with a receding hairline, sunglasses that scream "baseball dad," and a shirt with a barbecue on it.

You know he can grill a mean burger and loves to down a few brewskis with his buds after a long day at work.
