The Palm Beach Post reports on the recent nuptials of nervous groom Ebenezer Rose, 93 and his blushing bride, 89-year old Monica Hayden:
The couple, friends for decades, said they decided to take the plunge after a brief courtship.
Rose, who as a younger man traveled the world as a missionary for the Seventh-day Adventist Church, met Hayden in church about 20 years ago.
“She had eyes on me all these years,” said Rose, who lost Bernice, his wife of 58 years, about four years ago. “By God’s grace, we’re here.”
He proposed to Hayden, whose two husbands are gone now, too, about six months ago.
“I told her, ‘Each of us is living a lonely life. Why not get married?’“
