Couple wed with 58-year age gap
1 October 2007
A woman from Argentina has married a man 58 years her junior.
The 82-year-old women, Adelfa Volpes, married 24-year-old Reinaldo Waveqche at a civil ceremony in Santa Fe last Friday
|
.
They had been engaged for several years and are expected to honeymoon in Rio de Janeiro.
The groom had been living with Volpes since his mother died when he was just 15.
His bride was a friend of his mother's and has known her groom since he was born.
Mr Waveqche says their relationship is founded on respect and love.
He was quick to explain that money was not the motivation behind the match, saying he had always favoured 'mature ladies'.
The cradle-snatching bride was praised by her new husband for her zest for life.
He said: "I don't care what other people say."
And it is thought there is a physical dimension to their relationship. When asked if it was purely spiritual, Ms Volpes explained: "There is going to be more."
The blushing bride said: "The age difference has never been important for us."
