‘Lasting Love’ Valentine’s Dinner Postponed To March 3 After Blizzard

MELVILLE, NY — The 4th Annual “Lasting Love” Valentine’s Dinner honoring Long Island couples married 50 years or more has been postponed due to the recent blizzard and will now take place on Tuesday, March 3, from 5 to 8 p.m.

The celebration will be held at Verona Ristorante, located at 1255 Melville Road in Farmingdale.

Hosted by Cona Elder Law, the annual event is considered the largest gathering on Long Island honoring couples married 50 years or more, celebrating decades of commitment, partnership and shared history.

Each participating couple will be treated to a full dinner, including an appetizer, entrée and dessert, along with a glass of wine or cocktail. Melissa Negrin-Wiener, senior partner at Cona Elder Law, will lead a traditional toast honoring relationship longevity. Couples will then have the opportunity to share stories about how they met, what has sustained their marriages, and advice for younger couples on their own relationship journeys.

Cona Elder Law focuses on elder law, estate planning, estate administration and litigation, and health care law. The firm takes a holistic approach, supporting older adults and caregivers while helping families plan across generations.

The event is open to the public, but space is limited. Registration is required.
