Brent, who lives in Nashville, Tennessee, posted the photo online, where it’s been shared more than 324,000 times and received over 800,000 likes.
He captioned the shot: “So today, I took the kids to the pool and we stopped for ice cream on the way home.
“When I got my ice cream and pulled out, I realised that this elderly man beside me was sitting out side his car door, spoon feeding his wife ice cream who also looked in her late eighties.
“He draped a towel over her and slowly fed his bride in the 98 degree temperature.
“It was a beautiful display of love.”
People on Facebook were caught up in the moment, with one writing: “Wedding vows, really do have a great meaning. He’s following them,as he promised. Bless them both.”

Another commented: “You watch the news with all the horror in the world and then see this. Restores your faith in seconds.”
Others added: “how adorable is this, more people like this and the world would be such a better place”, and “That’s true love. For richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, beautiful. We all could learn a valuable lesson here.”
This week we revealed a new Channel 4 show will see 4-year-old children go to nursery in an old people’s home for six weeks – with heartwarming results.
And in April we shared a shocking video of two OAPs having a punch-up outside their care home in Hebburn, Tyne and Wear.
