Almeda Errell and Gary Hardwick may have a 53-year age gap, but they’ve proved that, when it comes to love, age means absolutely nothing.
The couple met at Almeda’s son’s funeral six years ago and, despite the fact Gary was just 17 at the time – younger than one of her grandsons – she says she remembers thinking he was “the one” before she even had a full conversation with him.
One year later – when he was 18 and she 72 – they started dating. Just two weeks after that Gary proposed and the couple, who live in Tennessee in the US, tied the knot in 2015. They’ve been happily married since.
