‘He chased me’: Lehigh County couple celebrates 60 years of marriage | Allentown Area

LOWER MACUNGIE TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Surrounded by their friends at the Willow in Lower Macungie Township, Nancy and Dale Kuhns were surprised with a celebration for their 60 years of marriage. 

“He chased me,” Nancy Kuhns laughed. 

Their story started decades ago, with a dance at Castle Garden in South Whitehall Township, and a dinner. 

“So coming back I said, ‘Are you hungry?’ She said, ‘Well yeah.’ I said, ‘Okay, I got a couple dollars, lets stop at McDonald’s,” Dale Kuhns said. 

The rest is history. 

“After that, we just clicked,” Dale said. 

60 years later, the couple shares two children, three grandchildren, and a life full of adventures. 

“We went on vacation every summer, we went down to the beach,” Dale said. 

“And we bowled for, I don’t know how many years, 40 years maybe,” Nancy said. 

And through the years, they’ve learned some tough lessons. 

“If you go to bed mad at one another, you wake up mad at one another, Dale said. 

But looking back, the couple says, every day spent together has been worthwhile. 

“It’s been a long road, but it was not a hard road to haul,” Dale said.
