A 100-year-old World War II veteran married his 96-year-old sweetheart near the D-Day beaches of Normandy, France, on Saturday.
New York City natives Harold Terens and Jeanne Swerlin tied the knot at the town hall of Carentan, where the famous World War II Battle of Carentan took place between the US and Germany, just two days after the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
“It’s not just for young people, love, you know? We get butterflies. And we get a little action, also,” said Swerlin, who wore a long pink dress.
The couple, who are both widowed, have been dating since 2021. Terens is from the Bronx while Swerlin is a native of Brooklyn.
