F6, aw, the story of the C's divorce is a bit sad, and a lesson
about love letters .. on the positive side from your link this is great ..

In Devon last month, a couple married at the combined age of 181 to become Britain's oldest newly-weds.

Les Atwell, 94, and Sheila Walsh, 87, married in a ceremony attended by family and friends. They met four years ago, introduced by Mr Atwell's cleaner.

His new wife explained: “His cleaner told me about Les and I thought he sounded nice but then she told me he's 90 and I thought "oh no, I'm not so sure".

“But when we met, that was it. It was love at first sight.”

The couple, who live in Paignton, went on a two week Mediterranean cruise for their honeymoon, stopping off in Athens, Rome and Barcelona.

The world record is held by French couple Francois Fernandez, then 96, and Madeleine Francineau, then 94, who married in 2002.
