Amos Fehr was the chaplain that married them, this is the oldest marriage that he's ever officiated.
"Over the years I've done a lot of weddings for people in their twenties, maybe in their thirties, and so on, but this was a new experience, and it just shows that no matter what age. Love has no boundaries, and love always wins. So we see that as a wonderful moment today."
The reception hall was filled with the large families of both Susan and Ulrich.
A spring rainstorm fell over Rosthern during the wedding but cleared out just in time for the ceremony.
The couple lives at the Mennonite nursing home. They plan on going on a secret honeymoon they wish not to disclose. The couple plans to come back to spend their time together at the Mennonite nursing home.
