Life is a journey with many paths that we travel on. Changes happen and we try to adapt whether retiring, losing a spouse, moving to a new place or getting married for the first time.
I know the happy couple well. They are individuals who anyone would want to have as friends. They are an dynamic couple who you would think have been together for many years. They met, fell in love and got married having a beautiful ceremony.
With over 100,000 people in The Villages, there are only 6 couples a year who marry after meeting in The Villages. That is a small percentage given the size of our current population.
Most people who read the article are happy for Joan & Ed and recognize that true love can happen at any age when you meet your soul mate.
Happy couple in the "Happy Paper" in Florida's Friendliest Hometown...........puts a smile on your face!

You sound like Gracie!
