According to matchmaker Roza Syabitova, it is both a crime and a punishment when an elderly man marries a young girl. But what if a 17-year-old boy falls head over heels for a woman in her seventies? There are many stigmas surrounding long age gaps in relationships. A few years difference is acceptable for some people, and even 50 is not a barrier.

Gary and Almeda’s story is comparable to that of other people. The young man fell in love with 71-year-old Almeda when he was just 17 years old. Many people did not think that a love like that could exist, but the couple paid no attention to the rumors.
At Robert, Almeda’s son’s funeral, the two fell in love. She suffered from depression. Gary was 17 at the time. He spoke to Almeda in a kind and supportive manner, which slightly aided her. The woman now admits that she was immediately drawn to Gary due to his large eyes!

It would appear that a continuation is inevitable. But they soon reconnected in a café and began conversing. Although some people believe that older and younger generations have very different interests, Gary and Almeda appear to have found some common ground.
The young man was extremely kind to the woman because he recognized her feelings of sadness and loneliness at the time. She had a 43-year marriage but lost both her husband and son. Almeda was abandoned, but not for long.

Gary soon asked Almeda to marry him. It’s possible that the couple had some reservations about what people would think, but they quickly dismissed them. For five years, they have been contented together. They share Almeda’s home with her granddaughter.
It has been demonstrated by a woman in her 70s that it is never too late to wear a wedding gown. She wore a wedding dress and had all the traditional bride’s characteristics when she married Gary.

What were the opinions? Almeda acknowledges that many of her acquaintances and friends just ignored her and stopped talking to her.
However, after five years of cohabitation, when friends realized that these were genuine emotions and not the result of a cold calculation, they cultivated closer ties with Almeda.

It is important to note that Gary has previously selected older women for himself. He once made an attempt to get along with a 77-year-old neighbor. He also harbored feelings for his 32-year-old teacher when he was a young student. After meeting Almeda, he understood that she was his true love.
That’s how Gary texted Almeda on Valentine’s Day, at least. “In you, I found not only the best wife but also the one and the only person who will always be my soul mate. I will always love you, Mrs. Hardwicke.
