It’s never too late to do the right thing

From AFP‘s end-of-year wrap-up:
SANTIAGO – After living together for 57 years, Isolina Ojeda, 107, and her 86-year-old lover Oscar Martinez finally decided to make it official by getting married. After the ceremony, the blushing bride, slightly hard of hearing, said: “We had to get married, as God intended. It’s a sin to live the way we were living.”

  3. Must’ve been a financial arrangement for the two for the most part before getting hitched. A lot of elderly couples don’t get hitched because of the adverse financial impact due to the tax code.

  4. Ken,
    They weren’t elderly when they first shacked up. They’d been living together for 57 years!

  6. My bad. 57 years. Wow. Of course the woman was 50. Old enough for an AARP membership had she lived in this country. Hence, in a way, she was elderly…

  7. Ken,
    50 isn’t elderly. My mom’s fifty and she’d be quite put out if I called her elderly, to say the least. The AARP is full of it.

  8. Uh… my sister-in-law just had her 5th child at age 46. Her oldest just started high school. When she is an “elderly” 50 she will have one graduating high school, one who is a high school junior, one in 6th grade, one in 5th grade and one in kindergarten.
    I will have a 10 and an 11 year old as well as two in high school and one in college when I hit the big 5 0.
    50 doesn’t look so “elderly” to folks still having babies and raising children in their 40s!!
