Doris and Mario Domingo just had their 60th wedding anniversary. They met at a café in a small German town in 1962 when Mario was serving in the military. Two years later, he would propose.

“I’m the CFO and CEO of the house,” said Doris. “I handle everything financial. More than anything, I handle his appointments. Some mornings I work from eight to 12 and I feel like I’m in an office.”
