I still think its weird (and gross). Ok, she may have loved him, but she was a small little teenie tiny child compared to him! He was an old old man soon to die, and this young girl had her whole life ahead of her. She could have loved him as a grandfather, or great-grandfather, but as a husband? Yuck! Personally, I wouldn't get married at 18 in the first place, and at 21, I wouldn't even get married to someone in his 30's. It might be just me, but I don't like such age gaps, because they usually think differently. (But this is not even an age gap, that's a 3-4 generations gap!) It may not have been a big deal to marry older people in that time, but 18-81 has been abnormal since the creation of mankind. Maybe 20-30 or 20-40, or even 20-50 would be acceptable in those days.....................but 18-81? I don't think so. Paul, you are thinking with a man's point of view. WE think from a girl's point of view. Girls don't care about men as much as men care about girls. You can't even get a child from an 81 year old man, can't raise a family, can lose him any day as he's in the end of his life, and would have to live an entire lifetime of loneliness. I also think its gross for an 18 year old girl to think of an 81 year old "grand-daddy" as a husband. In that picture, it looks like he posing with a child, with his granddaughter!
Karen, 24 days is nothing. Same age. 18-81 is a 4 generation gap.
