Yikes. But whatever make them happy, right?
For sprightly grandmother-of-three Edna Townsend, it was definitely love at first sight.
And to Simon Martin, who was still in his twenties at the time, she was the woman of his dreams.
After that fateful first meeting, the pair began dating and soon embarked on a full-blown romance with little thought for the small matter of their 39-year age difference.
Two and a half years on, the newlyweds - now aged 70 and 31 - are off on a two-week honeymoon in Cornwall, proving that sometimes love can indeed conquer all.
...
Edna, a retired engineer, said: "Simon swept me off my feet. When he proposed he wouldn't take no for an answer. I'm the happiest woman in the world."
Simon added: "I was really nervous but knew it was right. I got down on one knee and asked her if she would be my wife. She said 'Yes' and we kissed. It was incredibly romantic."
...
"Simon is gifted with the organ. He's an excellent player.
"He's not as deaf as Beethoven, but we don't think he can actually hear the majority of the stuff he plays."
