Bride, 90, and Groom, 96, Marry after Whirlwind Romance

Filed under:

A couple with a combined age of 186 became one of the world’s oldest to marry when they tied the knot today.

Raymond Robson, 96, proposed to Faye Webber, 90, several months ago after a whirlwind romance at The Grange residential home in Goring, Berkshire.

The couple clicked straight away when Raymond moved in last summer and love blossomed as he began reading the newspaper aloud to short-sighted Faye.

He popped the question out of the blue one day and “elated” Faye, who is originally from Ireland, agreed – even though he was not able to get down on one knee.

The widowed Quakers wed at a religious ceremony in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, this morning in front friends and family, including the six sons and daughters and 16 grandchildren and great-grandchildren they have between them.

After walking down the aisle together they enjoyed a marquee reception with 120 guests in the garden of The Grange, a 42-resident private home where they will now share a room.

Romance isn’t dead: "Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride”

Fans of Tim Burton's 1993 mirthfully macabre stop-motion animation feature "The Nightmare Before Christmas " — a group that grew substantially once the film went to the video after-market — only need know that he is back and in top form with another imaginative venture into the fanciful and ghoulish. Apparently based on a Russian folk tale, then transferred to Victorian Europe, "Corpse Bride " is the story of an arranged marriage interrupted when the groom-to-be inadvertently finds himself engaged to a different woman who comes from beyond the grave.
