According to the New York Post on October 26, local time, a foreign grandfather has recently become a celebrity on social media, and he has become a hot topic because he held a wedding again at the age of 87.
The wedding video was posted on social media by the old man's granddaughter, Sophia Angeletakis, 22. Although it is not clear what country Angelettakis lives in, it is certain that the family is of Greek descent.
There is nothing new about the old man remarrying, but after all, Sophia's grandfather has already entered his old age, and even needs crutches to support, and his bride's identity has become the focus of his granddaughter's attention.
From the caption of the picture, it can be seen that the bride is the groom's ex-wife's best best friend before her death, "Your grandfather married his ex-wife's best friend."
According to the report, the video has more than 6.6 million views, and it has also struck a chord with many netizens.
According to Sophia's explanation, her grandfather's ex-wife was not her grandmother, and this time, the 87-year-old grandfather had been married three times in his life. His ex-wife died of cancer two years ago, but Sophia did not explain the relationship between her grandfather and her ex-wife's best friend.
The bride, whose hair was as white as her wedding dress, walked slowly to the altar with a bouquet in hand, while a lady on crutches seemed to be supporting her.
While the priest read the wedding vows with a pad, the bride sat in a chair and listened, apparently unable to stand for long.
After the ceremony, a more grand party was held in the venue, and Sophia's grandfather took the bride's hand and danced in full view of everyone, the picture was very warm and romantic.
But soon Sophia complained and photographed her "serious face".
The wedding party did not reduce the process because the bride and groom were old, and the "throwing garter throwing" link was retained, and Sophia made another short video and posted it with the less polite title, "I want to wash my eyes after seeing him take off the garter (bride's)". Obviously, in the eyes of a girl in her early 20s, this matter is quite spicy.
"Throwing garters" is still common at European and American weddings, although many couples have replaced it by throwing bouquets, after all, the bride throws bouquets, which is more elegant than the groom's throwing garters.
But for some reason Sophia's grandfather still took this approach, perhaps to make his older buddies happy. (The garter is thrown by the groom and robbed by single men, implying that whoever grabs it is the next person to get married).
In the video, a younger-looking man tells Sophia, "If [the garter] comes close to me, I'll back off" and "that's disgusting."
Sophia's video of her grandfather's marriage sparked heated discussions, with many commentators recounting the "unexpected" weddings beside her, one netizen saying that his grandfather married his grandmother's sister after his grandmother died, another saying that my father married the widow of his late brother, "I don't even know what to call her now", and one even said, "My great-grandfather married his daughter-in-law, and he joked that he sent her to the aisle and now he has brought her back."
In addition, some netizens sent blessings, saying that they were happy to see that they had found love again in their old age, "He feels happy and satisfied with his new wife, which is good, nothing else matters."
