98-year-old couple beautifully recreate their wedding day
It’s been 70 years since Wang Deyi, 98, and Cao Yuehua, 97, tied the knot. And despite the years, the gorgeous couple are still very much in love.
To celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary Wang and Cao have donned the suit and bridal gown they once wore all those years ago, to recreate their wedding day.
"My dad asked my mum for a dance and they fell in love with each other almost at first sight. That's it. That's how my father met my mother," the couple's youngest son, 60-year-old Cao Pangpei told CNN.
After meeting in 1943, Cao was sent to India to work as an interpreter for the US Army on the frontline. “He told my mom that she was the first one that came into his mind when he was desperately crouching in the damp trenches,” says their son, who is clearly in awe of his parent’s relationship.
Cao and Wang’s son says he’ll do his best to help them honour their amazing past together. “We want to help them preserve their memories of the love they’ve shared,” he says.
The beautiful couple hope to recreate their wedding day again when they both celebrate their 100th birthday.
