A very long engagement - Don't rush things now kids...

March 5, 2008

An Italian man who is 101 years old is going to get married to his girlfriend after they dated over 50 years or a courtship of more than half a century.

Giuseppe Rebaudi is going to marry his very long time girlfriend named Silvie Basain. They started seeing each other in 1952.

French-born Silvie said: "We just need to get a certificate from the French embassy that I have not been married before and am single."

She said her only worry was that they might be rushing things: "We have only been together for 50 years - that may be a bit quick but then again you are only young once."

The wedding ceremony will take place at their home in Bordighera, in Italy.

Do not rush things now kids...
