Gertrude Mokotoff and Alvin Mann were 90 and 86 respectively when they met at a gym in Middletown, N.Y. 8 years later, aged 98 and 94 respectively, they got married at Middletown City Hall.
They were both widowed from previous marriages when they started dating. And Gertrude was the one who finally proposed to Alvin.
“I asked him to marry me,” she said with a chuckle in an interview with The New York Times. “I was tired of chasing after him.”
On August 5, 2017, the couple got married in front of 50 family members and close friends. The couple have 7 children, 12 grandchildren and 7 great-grand children between them from previous marriages. However, even at this age - they live life like they did when they were young.
“People always ask what it is that keeps us young,” Mr. Mann said. “Of course, one part of it is medical science, but the bigger part is that we live worry-free lives; we do not let anything we cannot control bother us in the least.”
