cool
Good on them for living their life for as long as they can. I am going to try live for that long, hopefully I can 🙂 I think that is cool that people still think that it is ok to marry when you are over 50 because love is still happening when you are old as well. I am very happy for them, I hope they have many more happy and cheerful times together and with their children, grand children and great grand children.
