70YO Thai Man Gets Married For The First Time To 20YO Bride; Age Gap Raises Eyebrows

There are two popular sayings that I will venture into before I elaborate on the topic at hand.

Firstly, love is blind. Meaning, looks, age and whatever else shouldn’t be as important. (Unless you’re rich, then that would earn you at least a couple of bonus points for sure)

Secondly, trust me, you will meet your star-crossed lover… eventually. Even if that means you’re old, wrinkly and your legs don’t work like they used to before, according to Ed Sheeran.

Now, why do I state the aforementioned?

70YO Thai Man Gets Married For The First Time To 20YO Bride; Age Gap Raises Eyebrows

A wedding in Thailand has received extra attention.

Heck, even international news sites have picked the story up because of an age gap of 50 years between the bride and groom in question.

Accoridng to ETtoday, the groom, who is almost 70 is the president of the Thai coffee company Khao Shong.

The name of the 20-year-old bride has not been revealed but it is understood that it’s the groom’s first marriage.

A good friend of the groom, Chettha Singthaveepol was the original poster of the wedding pictures. Later, several sites have since shared the pictures as well.

Just look at the happy couple!

But if for some reason you aren’t able to view the pictures, here they are.

It literally looks like a dream wedding.

Dowry Was Worth $900,000

It is understood that the dowry was worth up to 20 million baht (~S$900,000).

According to sources, the groom has also mentioned that he had decided on the marriage a long time ago.

He also said, “No matter where I am on this Earth, when the day comes, I will return to marry my bride.”

All jokes aside, when it comes to marriages, age gaps definitely do raise some eyebrows but this couple definitely look happy to be together and we wish them all the best.

Just look at their smiling faces!
