In Malaysia there is a widowed 110 year old Guy who wanted to get married again at hi his age, he doesn't care who the woman is, he said as long as she wanted to accompany him and live with him in the last few years or days of his life. An 82 year old woman who is a widow got interested in him because he looks like her late husband. The 2 decided to get married again because of loneliness of sleeping alone. I dont know if this marriage will work but congratulations to them. Source:http://tinyurl.com/24lk5sv

The man needs a companion that he will wake up to every morning and someone to sleep beside with in the evening. It is lonely to be alone and I also hope that their union will be blessed and they will live long enough to enjoy each other.

I do hope this marriage will work and they can cherish their time together, develop feelings with such high passion and feel young with this new life. I hope they can have longer lives to enjoy their lives together.

Wow! He must be expecting to live a few more years yet. But come to think of it, there is only now. Tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. It is a very touching story, and maybe the guy will out-live the woman yet. Good luck to them.. _Derek

Now he reminds me of an old folk song titled Today, Its like valuing what you have now instead of yearning for the past and worrying about the future.

The chances of it working is better than most marriages. They might not even have enough time to get the seven year itch, before one of them passes away. I wish them the best.

Yeah, that's the sad part about it. One of them is going to have to go through losing their spouse, again. But, I guess, at least they would have had a few years of companionship with each other and created some memories.

It could be about quality of marriage and not the quantity of years together since we know this is not going to last sooner since their age is already in the edge of the hill.

Hi Captain, I missed on the new year... But it is never that late... Happy 2011. This is a good thing to happen. I have felt loneliness is the most dreadful of things to happen to anyone especially in the old age. I appreciate the thoughts and openness of the couple. Many a times, people just dont think about this considering their society, peers and often are forced to walk the path they really never wanted to. Wish them the Best of Luck and hope they become the torchbearers for many who are unfortunately being forced to walk the paths they never wanted to. Cheers, theSids.

I'm planning to get married once I get 30, I hope both me and wife to be will both have long life that we wont get widowed and have to get married for the second time.

I agree fully with you, congratulations to them. I would normally say go out and live your life but these 2 are old enough to have done that already. They are both of a decent age, a shame the way they are together as they are married because he doesn't want to be alone and for her, her new husband looks like her late husband, that isn't the basis of a good marriage but hey, they don't really have much time left in there lives possibly and it is great to have the company, well done them. Hope i get to be that old and have a woman also.

For sure there is no love foundation in their marriage but with their age, i think they were already wise enough to know how a marriage work and they can still have time to develop feelings. They need each other to cure the sadness and be happy. I do hope love will blossom since they do this voluntarily.

Although it may sound strange but the old man do have a point. He needs someone who will take care of him and cooking foods for him. At least he is now happy that he already have someone who will take care of him. Congratulations to them and I wish them many happiness.

If you are 110 years old and alone, would you consider marriage?

It just proves in some peoples lives it is never too late. The man has done very well in life to reach age 110 years old. He lives his life well aand achieves his dream to get married again. It was lucky that he found an 82 year old lady to marry to share his days and nights with. Congratulations to this couple with their marriage.

It makes me wonder how long this marriage will last since we cant deny both of them are already on the edge of their lifespan. I hope they can make this marriage worthwhile and they can be happy together on their remaining years,Lets hope this marriage will give them happiness not loneliness.

It is somewhat sweet that this happened. But 110 does seem a little old to get married again. But if this is what they want and they are happy, then who am I to talk?

based on their age, do you think this marriage will last longer because you know their life experience and wisdom might help but their age, we dont know how long they can last in this world.

Personally I find it very sweet. I'm touched by this story and I believe true love does not matter how old one is. I really wish them good luck and a happy marriage. Well, its better to have companion then living alone when you are old, cause no one wants to spend the end of their live living a lonely life. And the part about looking like the woman's late husband was really funny. Its really rare to find a spouse who looks like your previous one, so this is one in a million.

no one wanted to be alone and lonely so we cant deny that its easy to understand their situation. Being alone makes us feel unloved, scared and sad, Having a companion help us to keep on going. I do hope their marriage will be a happy and a worthwhile one.

The first thing that popped into my head is it's sweet indeed. But upon reading that they're total strangers, I think it's sake for companionship. At least they'll somehow be happy, eh? That'd be okay. I also hope it would work between the two of them.

lets hope that love can still blossom with this marriage since the only foundation of them getting married is that they both feel sad and alone and they just wanted to have someone to be with.

I think that is so cute well as long as they have each other they won't be alone so that's always good wow the guy is 110 that's pretty impressive right there he must be very healthy to have gotten to that age I hope that I can get far in life too. Well they want to spend the rest of there years together which is ok even if they are strangers it doesn't really seem weird for them to get married. I support them all the way on this and that they have a happy marriage together.

There is a lot of romantic people here because The discussion is flooding with responses, everyone here are romantic since love ism wonderful. I also want a long youthful life too, I hope the technology to make my life longer will be existing already and I can afford it. But despite of the fact I want a longer life, I want to grow old with a companion, So I hope I wont have a 2nd marriage, I will die with the person that I love on my side.

I don't know what will be the result of this marriage. If they can do something amazing, it will be mentioned in guineas book of world records. Both of them must be among the happiest people of this world. There are so many people in this world who don't want to get married for the first time when they are young and these two are getting married in this age...

Their kids already have lives of their own, both are alone and lonely so that trigger them to have a need of a companion.

Fot what? its quite weird. I think they should developed first a camaraderie so that not just companion but truly a relationship that would last long.

Usually muslims gets married to complete strangers, So its hard for em to understand neither since they didn't develop a relationship before marriage.

Good luck to them I say but I wonder what their families think. Lets hope he does not have much money as they will say she is after his money and wont be so happy about them getting married. I hope though that nothing like that will get in the way of their happiness.

Love and marriage know no age. There are no limitations on this feeling. It should not matter how old or how young we are. If we find the one who makes us happy and want to marry them, then by all means we should!

I think they should be ready for being widowed again though, both of them are already of old age so for sure one of them will suffer the consequence of being widowed again because of their age.

That may be a bit weird for complete strangers to get married out of nowhere but since they are both very old and lonely they might need each other so they won't spend their final years alone. I personally wouldn't even consider doing something like this but then again I'm not 110. I hope they make each other happy and wish them well.

I guess their wisdom as old people might help this marriage since they already have the experience and their face marriages didn't end up in divorce, both of them are widowed. It seemed like widowed people are more successful on their second marriages over the divorced ones. sorry for the late response, My schedule is hectic.

Their age gap wont be obvious since both of them looks aged. The man is 20 years older than the woman but its not obvious since the woman her self is 80 years old.

As they say love is ageless, they dont really love each other though, They married on agreement and because they were lonely.
