TRUE LOVE? 96 YEAR-OLD MARRIES HIS 93-YEAR-OLD GIRLFRIEND AFTER 50 YEARS OF DATING
A 96-year-old man and a 93-year-old woman have finally decided to get married after being in cohabitation for almost 50 years.
The wedding of the two stated to be nonagenarians was officiated on Saturday, August 3, 2019, at the Dansoman Central Assembly of the Church of Pentecost in Accra, Ghana.
According to Ghana local media, the couple had been in cohabitation for 50 years and had managed to give birth to nine children together during their relationship before tying the knot.
Those who attended were amazed and filled with much joy.
The couple, James K. Andorful, 96, and Margaret Manuel, 93, tied the knot after over 50 years of cohabitation.
They were dressed up in white clothes as it is seen on the wedding pictures. The two exchanged their marital vows before the alter ceremoniously officiated by the Dansoman District Pastor of the Church of Pentecost, Rev. James Oko Barnor.
He said that the increased divorce rate in Ghana recently must be blamed largely on the discontentment of couples.
He argued that in times past marriages survived because couples were content with the little things they had and understood each other regardless of the circumstances.
He, therefore, called on married couples especially young people to stop comparing their marriages to others and rather appreciates what God has blessed them with to sustain their marriages.
