It's never too late and you're never too old and this heart warming story proves it. James Mason is 93 and last week he married his younger bride Peggy Clark who is only 85! What spirit, what joie de vivre. They had known each other just a matter of days before he proposed on bended knee and after Peggy accepted with delight, she helped him up again.The worlds press and media jumped on the story and Peggy and James found themselves thrust into the limelight as Britains oldest newly weds. The really great thing about this story is that they aren't just together for companionship alone, they appear to be head over heels in love, unable to stop cuddling and kissing and they both felt the pull and attraction the moment they met. It was, they say, love at first sight.
It's great that the media brought this to our attention but I think a bit of a shame that their very special wedding was invaded by press and the constantly flashing cameras and endless interviews meant that they didn't get to talk to each other all day.
How must it feel to marry at that age? How must it be to take wedding vows and truly commit to being together until your dying day? Surely, this is one couple that will be living in the moment, appreciating every minute together and living each day as if it is their last. They could probably teach us a lot.

What a great story! And what a great couple.
My grandmother remarried some ten years or so after my grandfather died. They were very happy together for about ten years or so. That's when Grandpa Dirk passed on.
Still, I know they brought each other a great deal of joy in the comparitively short time they had together.
May these two know that much happiness and more.
