London:
A 90-year-old woman and a 73-year-old man, whose relationship
blossomed since they met seven years ago in Britain, have finally
married.
Betty Erskine met her 'toyboy' Robin Tremayne when they lived in the
same block at the Trafalgar Court retirement home in Uffculme in
Devon county.
Robin, whose wife died in 2004, would regularly check on Betty. As
time went on, the relationship grew. Two years ago, Robin proposed
they marry.
Robin said: "I love Betty, and it just seemed the right thing to do.
"I thought we may as well get married - we get on so well. We never
argue and agree on practically everything. So it seemed like the
right thing to do."
The couple married before friends and family in Davon Saturday.
Betty and Robin will go on honeymoon later this year. Betty has two
daughters, a son and six grandchildren and Robin has a son and a
daughter each, three grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
