Montana Couple Married at Age 91, Signed a Prenup
The couple, both 91, said their "I dos" in front of immediate family July 25 in Lakeside ... after more than a decade of dating. The nuptials were also live streamed on Facebook so loved ones all over could watch.
Ivan and Gerry met in first grade and grew to be friends during high school. They both went on to get married to other people, but continued to bump into each other over the years at various local events, and committee meetings to plan their class reunions.
As fate would have it ... they were both mourning the loss of their spouses -- Marian and Bob -- 13 years ago when they ran into each other at a breakfast diner.
Were told Ivan was there with his hiking group -- the "Over the Hill" gang -- and went over to say hello to Gerry. Later in the day, Gerry mentioned to her son ... if someone as nice as Ivan were to ask her out, shed say yes.
Sure enough, that ol son-of-a-gun Ivan did exactly that later that evening ... when he asked her to be his date to a banquet because it "wouldnt be any fun to go alone."
Theyve been together ever since, love to travel and have been all around the world. Were told Ivan actually asked Gerry to marry him early on in their dating years, but she wasnt ready after losing Bob. However, when he recently popped the question again ... she said yes.
All of thats interesting enough, but then theres this -- Ivan and Gerry signed a prenup! Were told Ivan wanted it to be short and simple, but it ended up being 30 pages ... much to his dismay.
The couple wont be going on a honeymoon right now due to the pandemic, but say when they do ... itll include attending a University of Montana football game.
