Teenage sweethearts marry after 64 years apart

This is a very uplifting story and we should hear more of them

What a beautiful story! I wish John & Jean the very best! Jacersagain's story is nostalgic, albeit sad in its conclusion. However, as he was married when he saw her at the bus stop, maybe it was all for the better. I would love to see the girl I most admired, in 2nd Grade, in Catholic School. She is one of the 75 Most Influential Irish Women in America, who runs an advertising firm. Neither of us has ever been married. Like the girl jacersagain knew, she also left my neighborhood, when her family moved away, the last full week of 2nd Grade. Some crushes never expire!

Best wishes to John and Jean for a long, happy time together. When I was a teenager, I was madly in lurve with the most beautiful girl in the world... thin, blonde hair, blue eyes and the most charming unique smile ever I saw. Alas, her family left for England and we never saw each other again and I pined for her for a long time. But one day, many years after I was married, with growing children of my own, wasn’t I on a Dublin bus looking out the window when I saw her standing at a bus stop. I recognised her beautiful smile and blue eyes as she chatted with another woman. No longer thin but something like – wow! - 50 stone in weight! I couldn’t help but think in my wild imagination how lucky I was not to be under her then. Aaarrgh! The thought flattens me even now!

What a lovely Love story ,you both look great ,i wish both of you John and Jean lots of loving years together ,,Ei

Hey, what a great story and you both look fabulous for your age. Have a wonderful marriage and a long one and I hope all your children are happy for you. Everyone needs a second chance at happiness and I hope you achieve it. I live in Australia, but married a Belfast man.

My congratulations go out to John and Jean. What a lovley story. A long and happy life to them both. Just goes to show that you are never to old to find love.

I think this is a beautiful love story made even more so because of their committment to their shared faith.

ah sure love stories always have a happy end, well done. billy from limerick
