(CNN) - Love is in the air for Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul as he and his wife, Carol, celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary on Wednesday.
At a campaign stop in Las Vegas, the Texas congressman opened up about how he started the day with his longtime bride.

"She didn't make it this morning because this was her day that I said she could sleep in, and I provided her breakfast for her this morning," Paul, 76, said to a round of cheers and applause.
But with the couple traveling on the campaign trail, the candidate said the meal wasn't quite as romantic as one would expect.
"Now, I have to confess I didn't make the breakfast," he said. "I just called room service and made sure it was ready when she got up."

55 years of marriage...what do you got, Newt?
Dr. Paul is a class act! I hope he's having a wonderful time in the most unique city in the country!
"Now, I have to confess I didn't make the breakfast," he said. "I just called room service and made sure it was ready when she got up."
Room service...man he can really relate to the 99%!
Wow...55 years? Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Magoo!
What?!?!?! This is news??? The obvious cause for what's wrong in our country. Let's talk about the real issues.
55 years is impressive these days no matter what your politics. Congrats to the two of them.
Congratulations to Ron & his wife.
Awww...I love it when crazy old people play president.
Good for him. Congratulations.
Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Paul on 55 years of marriage. Quite an achievement! Enjoy your day. (Keep up the good fight, Dr. Paul.....this country needs you, whether they realize it or not!!!)
How touching that this old, senile couple are having such a great time. It is largely due to the fact that each day starts out as a new adventure since they can't remember what happened yesterday.
Yes, congratulations. Anyone with any negative thoughts – please don't waste your time posting.
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Paul. That is a milestone that you should be very proud of! Too bad today's young married people don't try more than 43 days before they try to divorce.
I support the President, but I've liked some of the things Paul has mentioned in regards to foreign policy. Have a nice anniversary.
I love it when someone calls Ron Paul crazy. It shows you that they are happy with the establishment and are satisfied with the current fleecing of America, whether they on the left or the right. So who is the crazy one?
In this day and age, 55 years is amazing and to be congratulated, no matter what your politics are.
Nice story, Political Unit. Hope you don't get fired for writing a positive article on Dr. Paul. Can't have that at CNN.
PS. Nice touch on ignoring the fourth place finisher on the result beside the article.

Try celebrating it WITHOUT civil rights Dr. Paul. Enjoy your anniversary.
While I support many of Ron Paul's positions, this is not news, CNN.
