100-Yr-Old World War 2 Veteran to Marry 96-Yr-Old Fiancee in France Today

Hundred-year-old World War II veteran Harold Terens will marry his 96-year-old fiancee Jeanne Swerlin on Saturday in the French town of Carentan-les-Marais.

A few days back Harold was honoured on the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Terens, who lives with Swerlin in Boca Raton, Florida, was awarded the French Legion of Honour by President Emmanuel Macron in 2019.

After the war, Terens married his first wife, Thelma, with whom he spent 70 years and raised three children until her death in 2018.

In 2021, he came to know Swerlin, a widow. The two have been inseparable practically ever since.

“She lights up my life, she makes everything beautiful,” Terens told AFP in an interview last month in Florida. In the same interview, Swerlin said her fiancee was “an unbelievable guy”. “He’s handsome — and he’s a good kisser.”
