100-Year-Old World War Veteran Marries 96-Year-Old Sweetheart

These were the sounds that took over Normandy after Harold Teens, 100, married his 96-year-old fiancée Jeanne Swerlin.

To top off an extraordinary day, the newly wedded couple also attended the state banquet at the Elysee Palace in Paris thrown by President Emmanuel Macron in honour of visiting US leader Joe Biden.

This is what the 100-year-old said after his marriage. "It's the best time of my entire life."

In 2021, a friend introduced Teens to Swerlin, a charismatic woman who had also been widowed, and the two have been inseparable ever since.
