But World War II veteran Harold Terens and his sweetheart Jeanne Swerlin proved that love is eternal as they tied the knot Saturday inland of the D-Day beaches in Normandy, France.
Their respective ages — he’s 100, she’s a youngster of just 96 — made their nuptials an almost double-century celebration.
“(The town of) Carentan was happy to host your wedding, and us, your wedding dinner,” he told the couple.
Harold Terens and his 96-year-old bride, Jeanne Swerlin Terens, wave to a crowd following their wedding.
On D-Day, Terens helped repair planes returning from France so they could rejoin the battle.
