Harold Terens will head to France in late May to be honored by the French government and to put a ring on his fiancee's finger.
A 100-year-old American World War II veteran plans to marry his 96-year-old fiancee in France as part of that country's 80th anniversary celebration of D-Day.
Harold Terens and his fiancee Jeanne Swerlin kissed and held hands like high school sweethearts as they discussed their upcoming wedding in France, a country the World War II veteran first visited as a 20-year-old U.S. Army Air Forces corporal shortly after D-Day.
Love and history intertwine as Terens and Swerlin marry near D-Day beaches, marking a lifetime of memories and a new chapter.
“He was introducing me to the whole world, ‘I want you to meet my girl, my sweetheart,' and I didn’t even know him more than two days,” she said, laughing. “Being in love is not just for the young. We get butterflies just like everybody else.”
