Way to go, Buzz. I always felt a sort of kinship with Buzz Aldrin because of our names - yes, Buzz really IS my nickname that my mother gave me when I was about 4 years old and more people knew me as Buzz than they knew my real name. Anyway, I got married in my early 70s to my present wife who is much younger than I am, so I applaud Buzz for having done this.
Check out the woman he married. I'm not the only old guy named "Buzz" who has married a very beautiful woman.
Okay, that's THEIR wedding picture, here's ours...
Funny thing is that when those photos were taken, he was a couple decades older than me, yet I look older than him.
Two great Buzzes!
LOL. Thanks, charger.
and 2 beautiful brides for their distinguished looking men
Buzz A. and I were lucky, I guess.
