Too bad people are so cynical nowadays. I for one think it's beautiful.

She might have money, Or while she was caring for him he devolved this love for her, more than one would have for a foster mother...
And It Blossomed into this, marriage, the most sacred union known to man....
Or he could be crazy....
Or he might have a thing for old people...
Or maybe he just loves her....a lot....and thats cool...yeah
Ma salam!

No offense sis, but did you feel that same way when Anna Nicole Smith (26 at the time) married J. Howard Marshall (who was 89)?
Did anyone for that matter?
There's kind of a double standard in society when it comes to things like this. Usually if a young girl marries an old guy like that, everyone, women especially, all say she's a gold digger and that the old man must have money. However, when the opposite happens, the guy must be in love and the woman must be wonderful.

Re: Man, 24, weds 82-year-old bride
The circumstances, quotes, and picture all make the guy and the old crone seem like they are both perverts so thats the assumption i'm gonna go with

Re: Man, 24, weds 82-year-old bride
I found this very distrubing. Not that you can't fall in love with any odd number but its the fact that the lady bought him up. She's being more of like grandma figure to him and I can't grasp how one can ever fall in love with one's grandma, mum.
I hate to think how attractive he finds her in bed!

Man, 24, weds 82-year-old bride
A 24-year-old Argentine man has married a woman 58 years his senior.
The groom, Reinaldo Waveqche, told reporters after the ceremony in Santa Fe, northern Argentina: "I've always liked mature ladies."
Mr Waveqche added: "I don't care what other people say." He and bride Adelfa Volpes, 82, are planning to travel to Rio de Janeiro for their honeymoon.
Asked if the marriage was purely spiritual, Ms Volpes laughed and replied: "There is going to be more."
The couple were married in a civil service after several years of engagement, and later walked through a local church surrounded by reporters.
Their love blossomed when Mr Waveqche went to live with her after his mother's death when he was 15.
He said he admired his new wife's zest for life, and emphasised how special she was to him.

women are more fickle than men are in many ways.
