93 year old bachelor is getting married at last...

I can identify with this guy somewhat, since I've never been married, and am now 63.

PARAMUS, N.J. (WABC) – Love is never too late.

Two New Jersey natives know that sentiment all too well. At 83 and 93 years old, the couple is getting married 64 years after they first met.

Joe Potenzano, the 93-year-old groom, is getting married for the very first time.

“I began to feel that loneliness that only comes at 90 years old,” he said.

His bride-to-be is 83-year-old Mary Elkind, a widow.

“I had a couple of friends that said to me, ‘Are you crazy? Why are you getting married? At this stage you’re getting married?’” Elkind said.

“At my age, I wasn’t sure if I was going to get shot down,” Potenzano said.

The couple met in 1959 at Potenzano’s sister’s wedding. Potenzano was the best man, and Elkind was the maid of honor.

1. There won't be too much conflict at that age.

2. In the song "My Old Man's The Dustman..."

Though my old man's a dustman
He's got an 'eart of gold
He got married recently
Though he's 86 years old
We said, "Ere, hang on, Dad
You're getting past your prime"
He said, "Well, when you get to my age
It helps to pass the time"

3. My dad was so lonely at 93. I'm happy for them.

4. People in my family remarry in old age

surprisingly often - widowhood usually, sometimes divorce. It's made me think it's never too late!

I hope they're very happy.
