Sing Buri:- A wedding became talk of the town in the central province of Sing Buri Sunday when a 74-year-old Australian made married a 66-year-old Thai woman in an elaborate Thai traditional wedding ceremony.

Noel Sunder led a traditional khan mark or dowry procession to the house of Pemikar Mueansri in Tambon Tonpho of Sing Buri’s Mueang district to ask for permission from the woman’s parents to marry his bride.

They were married in the rod nam sung ceremony when the parents, relatives and guests poured water on their hands to bless them a happy marriage.

Pemikar said she could communicate in English to some extent as she used to work as a cook in Cyprus.

She likes Sunder because he is lively and funny. He loves her family and is a good man. Most of all, Pemikar said her daughter and grandchildren accept him and do not mind her marrying him.

Asked how she felt to be married at this age, Pemikar said she was happy that someone loves her at this age.

That's so cute - but yes

because they are too old to know what they are doing ? :stir:

But I guess your point is that 50 year old Cambodians are not allowed to marry foreigners their own age or older ? Unless they are very rich of course.

Cambodians of any age are not allowed to marry foreigners older than, if I recall correctly, 60.

Edit for correction and clarification (age limit is 50):

In March 2011, the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) issued a Diplomatic Note which bans foreign men who are 50 or older – or who earn less than $2,500 per month – from marrying Cambodian women.

The law was designed to stop 50 year old foreign guys marrying 18 year old girls.

They didn't consider that a 50 year old Khmer woman may want to marry a 50 year old foreign guy.

Or a 74 year old guy that wants to marry a 66 year old woman, as in the OP.

I believe "normal" is the word you are looking for.

The man is 74 and the woman is 66. Geriatrophilia, really? Let them be happy.

Gerontophile ?
Yeah, weird getting married to someone close to your own age.
And anyone over 50 should just stop that right now.
