Shocking! 17-Year-Old Boy Ties The Knot With 71-Year-Old Widow

Gary Hardwick, a 17-year-old boy has left many in great shock after he tied the knot with his 71-year-old sweetheart Almeda Errell in an elaborate wedding.

According to Metro, the grieving widow from Sevierville, Tennessee, met the handsome teenager at her 45-year-old son Robert‘s funeral, who died after years of ill health.

After a whirlwind 3-week romance, the duo tied the knot in a ceremony which he arranged for just $200 in six days.

Almeda, a mother of four, walked down the aisle in a dress borrowed from his cousin, and on their wedding night, they had sex for the first time. Gary says sex with her is beyond his wildest dreams.

She said: ‘I found myself on my own. I’d turn up for work at Walmart in tears and my colleagues would ask me what was wrong. Deep down, I was searching for a soul mate.’

Gary, who had always been attracted to older women, said he was also unhappy after feeling trapped in his relationship with a 77-year-old woman.

Gary said: ‘She had the most gorgeous, sparkling blue eyes. When I told Lisa, Robert’s wife that I liked Almeda, she said that she liked me too and that she should get us together.’
