84-year-old grandma marries high school sweetheart after 50 years apart
An 84-year-old grandmother in the US has proven it’s never too late for love.
At Phyllis Opper’s 50th high school reunion in Massachusetts, she reconnected with her old high-school classmate Nate Workman, 85. It didn’t take long before the pair fell in love and decided to get married.
Phyllis’ granddaughter, Lindsay, 27, shared the heartwarming story of the lovebirds’ reunion on the Today show in the US.
According to Today, after the school reunion the pair began exchanging emails which soon developed into a relationship. Lindsay revealed her grandma had “a case of the schoolgirl giggles.” Then last November at Lindsay’s boyfriend’s birthday dinner the pair announced they were going to get married. Three weeks later, Grandma Phyllis walked down the aisle.
“I didn't think it was possible for my grandmother to become even more beautiful, but Nate has cast the most magnificent light that shines through her smile and sparkles in her eyes,” said Lindsay, adding, “As a teenager, I learned that it’s never too late for love.”
