Man 24, Loses 82 Year Old Wife (Break Out The Violins Alert)
BBC News ^ | 10/22/2007 | BBC News

An 82-year-old Argentine woman who attracted media attention last month when she married a 24-year-old man has died as a result of heart problems.

Adelfa Volpes was admitted to hospital soon after she and her new husband, Reinaldo Waveqche, returned from their honeymoon in Brazil.

She died in a sanatorium in Santa Fe, the city where the couple were married.

Ms Volpes had rejected criticism over the age difference with the groom, who is the son of one of her best friends.

"I don't want to resign myself to the idea that I lost her," a disconsolate Mr Waveqche told EFE news agency.

The couple were married on 28 September in a civil service after several years of engagement, and later walked through a local church surrounded by reporters.

Their love is said to have blossomed when Mr Waveqche went to live with his future bride after his mother's death, when he was 15.

Sometimes a guy has to jump on the hand grenade...

This time wasn’t one of those.

“I don’t want to resign myself to the idea that I lost her.”

Why not. She’s a late person!

Boy, talk about a May to December romance.

Mama mia.

“An 82-year-old woman died as a result of heart problems.”

I believe its called heart failure. 82 years is a pretty good run.

My goal is to slide into heaven with chocolate in one hand and vodka in the other shouting Man What a Ride.

From the picture I think there was money involved and she got what she paid for.
