71-year-old woman marries 17-year-old boy whom she met at her son's wake

The folks here at Mega love a love story, especially when it's out of the ordinary, like the one you'll know right now. Let's go to the presentation of the lovebirds: Almeda Errell and Gary Hardwick.

The two met at a funeral, and this is not really the best way to meet anyone, nor is it the most romantic moment, in fact. Did you find it strange? So calm, which gets worse: the wake in question was from Almeda's son, Robert.

It turns out that during his son's farewell Almeda eventually met one of Robert's friends, Gary. Shortly thereafter, the two were married and completely in love. Besides the occasion that marked the meeting of the couple, another detail draws attention: the age difference between the lovers - she is 71 years old and he, 17.

It happened

“I wasn't looking for a young man, but Gary just showed up. I just made sure he was the right guy, ”she said in a statement published in Metro.

After the death of his eldest son, Almeda, who was already a widow, was completely devastated and feeling alone. She said she lived crying at work, that her colleagues asked what the problem was, and that deep down she really wanted to find her soul mate.

Gary, on the other hand, had always been attracted to older women and was equally unhappy when he met Almeda. At the time, his unhappiness was due to the end of a relationship with a 77-year-old woman.

Happy date

When the two met at Robert's funeral, it was really a meeting of two people who were sad and ready to fall in love again, and there was no way out: one did not leave the other's mind from then on.

“She had the most dazzling and bright blue eyes. When I told Lisa [Robert's widow] that I had liked Almeda, she said that he had liked me too and that she should help us stay together. ”

In fact, Lisa's Cupid operation went well and some time later the two met on Lisa's daughter's birthday. “He was exactly as I remembered. That smile, the good looks. We were both too nervous to eat, and at one point he fell out of his chair, ”she said of the reunion day.

Wedding

From then on, the two met each night, and two weeks later Gary proposed to his lover. The proposal was accepted and six days later, the couple said "yes" in the garden of Lisa's house, where they exchanged the first kiss.

About the wedding night, Gary told the smiling British tabloid: “It was wonderful, far beyond my wildest dreams. She is truly the woman of my dreams and the physical side of our relationship could not be better. ” Given this, we have nothing left but to wish the couple happiness, right?
