Man gets married for the first time at age 95 in touching ceremony to 84-year-old soulmate

Many of us expect to find the love of our life in our younger years and some may give up hope as we grow older, but Julian Moyle has proved it's never too late to find the one. The 95-year-old got married for the first time in his life on Thursday to his soulmate, 84-year-old Valerie Williams, and said the joyous occasion was "like a new year".

The touching marriage ceremony was held in Calvary Baptist Church in Canton, Cardiff, and saw around 40 of their friends and family in attendance. An opera singer performed on the day - a nod to Mr Moyle's operatic career - and the couple's wedding cake was made by Let Them See Cake, a famous bakery just down the road from the venue.

Julian, who is originally from Australia, emigrated in 1954. From 1970 until 1982, he was a soloist in the Welsh National Opera. He met his now wife - who was born and bred in Cardiff - 23 years ago in the very church that has just celebrated their nuptials. He proposed just a few months ago on February 4.
