Man, 112 marries girl, 17!

November 2, 2009

The world is full of many weird and wonderful stories about marriage. Horses getting married, celebrities getting wed for less than a week and……a 112 year old man getting married to a 17 year old girl!!!!

Ahmed Mohammed Dore who has already married 5 times before and has 13 children was overjoyed after he took the hand of Safia Abdulleh.

Safia’s family didn’t seem at all bothered about the age gap, they have said that she is happy that he is her husband. Some people in Somalia are slightly worried about the huge age difference, with others being happy that the couple have found love.

“I didn’t force her, but used my experience to convince her of my love; and then we agreed to marry. It is a blessing to have someone you love to take care of you”.

Weddings

October 27, 2009

There are many types of weddings held across the world, in different seasons, online, a small church, a major event etc.

There are different cultures as well, quite often there isn’t just one event! In certain cultures only one side of the family pays for the actual wedding, whilst the other events are paid by the other. Sometimes religion can be involved and their can be arranged marriages and special procedures. On the flipside many marriages are done through sheer love, randomness, and drunkness. Lets not forget the many celebrities who suddenly get married and divorced – some say for publicity?

Whatever it is, marriage is a special event for many and often quite costly!
