I Don't Usually Fall For The "Feel-Good" Stories...

But this story from last week's Los Angeles Times just got to me. Here is the hooker...

Saturday's nuptials at a Camarillo Baptist church had the usual trappings: flowers, an emotional ceremony and a lovely bride in antique silk. But this was no ordinary spring wedding.

More than 200 guests broke out in loud applause and even a few cheers as 95-year-old Bernice Jenkins started down the aisle escorted by her two balding sons to the strains of "Here Comes the Bride."

And no one clapped louder than Bernice's soon-to-be husband, Wallis "Rich" Richard, also 95, as he gazed with a wide grin when his bride approached the altar.

"Finally," he whispered as he clasped her hand.

With a combined 190 years of age between them, Bernice and Rich Jenkins are among California's oldest newlyweds. It's not known if they are the oldest because the state doesn't easily track late-in-life marriages.

But the significance of the event was not lost on their circle of family and friends, who seemed giddy -- even inspired -- witnessing the couple's union.
