17-year-old boy marries 71-year-old woman after 3 weeks of "love at first sight"

When he learned that his 71-year-old mother was dating a 17-year-old bachelor, the son "cried like rain" and objected because of the huge age difference. However, the couple was determined to get married.

Love stories of couples with age gaps always attract the attention of netizens. There was once a unique wedding that made many people curious because the bride was 71 years old and the groom was very young.

The couple with a large age gap still got married despite public opposition.

Groom Gary Hardwick from Tennessee (USA) was only 17 years old when he met Mrs. Almeda (71 years old) at her son's funeral in 2015. Seeing her suffering great pain from losing her son, he ran to comfort her.

When they first met, they both realized that he was their soul mate. Mrs. Almeda decided to date and get engaged to the young man after 3 weeks of meeting, to the surprise of many people. She believes that the most painful thing is losing a loved one, so we must cherish real feelings.

The couple decided to get married, but her other son strongly opposed their relationship. He thought that their love was not genuine because of the huge age gap.

Meanwhile, some of Gary's family members said he was too young for his wife and Almeda, which was crazy. However, the two still decided to be together.

However, the "grandmother - grandchild" couple still overcame all prejudices and obstacles of the world to be together. They both waited until Gary turned 18 and decided to get married in October 2015.

Since "coming home together", Mrs. Almeda and her young husband have moved into her house with her grandson, who is 3 years older than Gary.

An interesting thing about the groom is that Almeda is not Gary’s oldest girlfriend. He had previously dated a 77-year-old woman. But in the end, Almeda was his choice, the one he was willing to marry and cherish for the rest of his life.

To celebrate his wife's 80th birthday, Gary made a sweet confession.

Despite the large age gap and many objections when they got married, they overcame it and had a happy and joyful married life. Almeda could not have children, but that was not a problem for Gary in their marriage. They both found a common heart and considered each other an indispensable half in their lives.

Despite many years together, the mismatched couple is still happy together, building a small home together. Notably, in 2023, Mrs. Almeda celebrated her 80th birthday with her young husband. Together they enjoyed a rare sweet and happy moment.

To maintain a happy married life, the young husband always has winged words for his wife, he praises her as his rare wonderful wife. Notably, in an Instagram post, Gary wrote: "Happy birthday to the most wonderful wife in the world. Today is not only a wonderful day for you but also an important day for me. Today is the anniversary of the birth of a wonderful woman with a heart carved from gold.

I am the luckiest husband because I get to wake up next to you every day. You make me the happiest man every day and I always want you to be the happiest woman in the world too."

While Gary claims the 71-year-old is his dream lover, Almeda feels like she's gotten younger.
