A 77-year-old Russian woman marries a groom ten years older than her

A 77-year-old woman from the Russian province of Nizhny Novgorod decided to marry a man ten years older than her, as he is 87 years old.

The news was announced by the head of the local civil registry office, Olga Krasnova, making her the oldest bride in the region for the year 2024, and both spouses are residents of Nizhny Novgorod.

The news sparked reactions on social media pages, with some seeing it as a picture of romance that flourishes at any stage of life.

While some considered that love does not recognize age, and that the event is a reminder that marriage is not just a statistic, but rather a celebration of life and affection between people, regardless of their age.

This story comes in light of a slight decline in marriage rates in the province, as 7,100 marriages were recorded during the first six months of this year, a decrease of 3% compared to the same period last year.
