If they love each other - good luck to them.

Just because other cultures are different and curious compared to ours does not mean they are not sincere.

[woofgang]

Not my business if they are both happy....have to say she doesn't look happy but that might just be the photos.

[baza]

good luck to them, how many oil wells is he the proud owner of?

[Baldric]

Strange, isn't it, that you rarely see it the other way around?

[Bazile]

erm - i was not making any criticisms

[jim360]

As long as she chose freely to enter that marriage, that's all that matters. Though it won't last very long.

[themorrigan]

Nobody would bat an eye if it was Stringfellow and some young floozy. As long as it was consensual marriage I can't see a problem.

[gness]

Well I'm trying, Baldric...:-(

[jd_1984]

Will he even be able to consummate the wedding??

[baza]

^^^ very slowly I think

[Old_Geezer]

I'm a lot younger than I feel.

[andy-hughes]

Didn't mean to imply you were Baz - apologies if it seemed that way.

[Old_Geezer]

They claim the groom is senile but offer no evidence.

Maybe they assume his young bride will be the death of him, but it seems a pleasant way to to me, not a senile thing to do at all. Not so sure about the young bride though. Is the guy rather wealthy ?

[Bazile]

apologies , accepted andy

[Old_Geezer]

... to go ...
as I typed

[naomi24]

"The senile groom"?

If this was her choice, can't help wondering why?

//Al Majmaai, aged 92, postponed the marriage of his two grandsons (16 and 18 years old) numerous times …//

….or who’s pulling the strings for the whole family.

[Bazile]

According to the bride - she is very happy and satisfied and realised that it was her ' fate '

[sandyRoe]

Ah, Kismet.

[woofgang]

I would bat an eye if it was Stringfellow...I think he's creepy.

As regards being "as young as you feel", there is an alternative saying to the effect that "You are as young as the woman you feel." If that's true, the old guy's got it made!
