WWII veteran ties the knot with 96-year-old bride near Normandy's D-Day beaches
US Army veteran Harold Terens, 100, married Jeanne Swerlin in Normandy amid a raft of events to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Allied D-Day landings.
Harold Terens - a 100-year-old US Army Air Force veteran - called it "the best day of my life" as he married 96-year-old Jeanne Swerlin on Saturday.
On her way to the ceremony, the bride-to-be said: "It's not just for young people, love, you know? We get butterflies. And we get a little action, also."
She also said her sweetheart was the "greatest kisser ever".
The pair married in the town hall of Carentan, a key initial D-Day objective that witnessed fierce fighting after the Allied landings on 6 June 1944.
Wow, she looks great for 96 years old! How'd she do that?
Regular sex, probably.
He looks remarkably good for his age too.
It’ll never last.
