London: The saying love is blind really did turn out to be true for 16-year-old Jessica Anderson, for she’s getting set to exchange wedding vows with her 50-year-old boyfriend Clive Richards.
Richards, a grey-haired father of two, left his third wife Julia for deputy head girl Anderson six months ago.
Anderson, a schoolgirl, set up house with Richards, a teacher, and is waiting to become his fourth wife, in September next year, when she turns 18.

“Despite common predictions we’re still together and very happy,” the Sun quoted him as saying.
“I am frustrated that everyone thinks I’ve been brainwashed. I have my own mind and this is what I want,” Anderson added.
Richards said rumours that his child bride was pregnant were not true.
They moved in together with his 14-year-old son in the village of Goldsithney, Cornwall, near her parents, and he quit his job at Mounts Bay School in nearby Penzance.
Anderson’s parents Frances and Phil plan to move as they “cannot bear” to live near the couple.
“We still cry about it all the time,” Frances said.
Accurate title.
Well it’s certainly pushing the envelope as far as biology is concerned.

Sure honey, sure (sarc). 3 days later, it’s “Daddy, what’s a dishwasher?”
Lol.
Self ping for later. This thread will be a fun read.
Clive Richards...
newest member of ‘top 100 coolest guys on earth.’ ;=)
In five years we'll be reading about how she ran away with her step-son.
GUILTY!
She’s barely half of the “half your age plus 7 rule”.
Someone needs to talk to her about father images. She doesn’t need to marry “dad”.

She doesn’t need to marry “dad”.
I wonder if 1, 2, and 3 were young when he married them too. If so, once she is 18 and legal, well...what comes after 4?
“Skunk” Richards. We had a teacher with hair like that and, of course, we named him “the Skunk”.
Phil's crying, too? How pathetic. I would take a baseball bat to the guy's forehead if that was my daughter.
Ping.
Not sure what to think of this one.
Me too.
They write themselves, don’t they?
A Medieval Home Companion: Housekeeping in the Fourteenth Century, by Tania Bayard (Editor), is the translation of a late 14th Century instruction guidebook written by a 50ish man to his new 15-year-old wife.
I suspect that I am not the only FReeper who has 15-year-old brides as ancestors. And note that until last century the Roman Catholic Church had conditions to allow pre-pubescents to marry!
At least he is not marrying a 6 year old vagina.
Liberals become conservatives-----one at a time.
