An 80-year-old bride named Merryman amazed everyone in her wedding dress as she prepared to marry her 60-year-old fiancé. Merryman expressed her disbelief and joy over the positive comments she received from strangers, stating she never expected such an event at her age.
In a series of videos, Merryman’s granddaughter, Jefferson, shares their journey to the wedding. With a playful tone, Jefferson narrates their preparations, often teasing her grandmother, whom she affectionately calls a “bridezilla.”
Merryman’s transformation was breathtaking, with her hair styled and makeup done, and her rhinestone-studded hair shining. Jefferson, dressed in a deep blue dress, praised her grandmother, calling her a “gorgeous queen” and marveling at her elegance and strength at 80.
When asked about her final thoughts as a single woman, Merryman humorously replied, reflecting her witty personality. Jefferson’s wedding speech added more charm, recalling a memorable moment when her grandmother called to say she had kissed a boy, highlighting Merryman’s adventurous spirit.
Jefferson joked about the couple’s wedding preparations, attributing most of the effort to Dave, Merryman’s fiancé. She shared how her grandmother’s story of finding love later in life inspired many, including herself.
During the ceremony, the couple’s love was evident as they shared a heartfelt kiss while cutting the cake. The family later appeared on the Tamron Hall Show, where Merryman recounted her 45-year marriage to her late husband and her struggle with loneliness after his death. Meeting Dave brought joy back into her life, and their love blossomed over shared meals and small moments of affection.
Dave, unaware of Merryman’s struggles, admired her resilience and beauty. Their bond grew stronger, leading to his proposal in 2021, which she accepted with humor.
We wish the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness!
