Elderly lovebirds tie the knot after meeting at retirement village 2 months ago

An 87-year-old woman and a 78-year-old man were married on Wednesday, just two months after they met at Brookdale New Braunfels, a senior living community in Texas. 

Allen Seelhammer and Ann Hoover both feel like young teens after falling head over heels in love after meeting in October.

They began eating meals together and sitting together during events at the retirement village. Their relationship soon blossomed into a romance and they both decided the natural next step to take was marriage.

“It’s like a Camelot situation,” Allen said. “And I don’t want to wake up, because I’ve never been so happy in my life.”

The couple said their vows Wednesday and enjoyed some champagne and cake.

“I kind of feel like a teenager again,” Anne said. “I’ve got a cute little fella that I’m crazy about, and he acts like he likes me, too.”

The ceremony was broadcasted on the community’s Facebook page.

It is their second marriage after both their spouses passed away.

The pair showing it is never too late to fall in love (again!).
