On June 8, 2024, in the town hall of Carentan-les-Marais in the Normandy region, 100-year-old American WWII veteran Harold Terens married his 96-year-old partner, Jeanne Swerlin. This event marked the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings, with the couple's combined age nearing 200 years. Terens, who served as an aircraft radio repairman during WWII, and Swerlin both hailed from New York and had experienced the loss of their previous spouses. The wedding was held as a symbolic gesture with no legal effect, but they have the option to formalize it upon returning to the US. French President Macron extended his blessings during a state banquet in Paris, highlighting the significance of their union despite their advanced ages.
