World's oldest groom ties the knot at 120
By QMI Agency
Hazi Abdul Noor, a 120-year-old widower in India, made history this past weekend when he married 60-year-old Samoi Bibi, reports the Times of India.
More than 500 guests attended the wedding in Satghori, a remote village in the state of Assam. More than 100 of them were the groom's immediate family members - two sons, four daughters, their spouses and their many children.
"It was not an easy job to find a bride for a 100-year-old," son Hazi Azir Uddin told the Times. "However, by the grace of god, we have found a new mother, though she's half his age."
