92-Year-Old Iraqi Weds Woman Seven Decades Junior
2013-07-08
[An Nahar] A 92-year-old Iraqi farmer married a woman 70 years his junior in a village north of Storied Baghdad
...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate...
, he said Friday, voicing happiness at getting hitched alongside two teenage grandchildren who also tied the knot.
Have a look at the link. The little woman looks underjoyed.
Musali Mohammed al-Mujamaie married 22-year-old Muna Mukhlif al-Juburi on Thursday evening, three years after the death of his first wife of 58 years, with whom he raised 16 children in his home village of Gubban, which lies just south of the central Iraqi city of Samarra.

"I am so happy to get married with my grandsons," Mujamaie told Agence La Belle France Presse after the ceremony.

"I feel like a 20-year-old!"
That's why they make those little blue pills, ain't it?
Mujamaie said the marriage of his two grandsons, aged 16 and 17, was repeatedly delayed while his own wedding was being arranged, so that the three could tie the knot on the same day.

The wedding carried on for four hours, with musical and dance performances and celebratory gunfire, and was attended by local tribal and religious leaders.

#5  Actually ex-Soviet world class pianist and world class chess player Mark Taimanov (he was crushed 6-0 by Bobby Fisher and had to face the wrath of the authorities) had twins at 78. Problem is that it is unlikely he will live until his children reach adulthood.

#1  They're having trouble with the math AND the orientation in this story. The man should be the young one. I always thought that 22 goes into 92 many more times than 92 goes into 22.
