A 100-year-old World War II veteran returned to France on the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion to tie the knot with his sweetheart in Normandy.
Harold Terens and his 96-year-old bride Jeanne Swerlin held their wedding in Carentan, France. The ceremony took place just miles from one of the beaches where Allied troops landed on June 6, 1944, ushering in the end of the war in Europe. The wedding was symbolic, not binding in law, and officiated by the town's Mayor and attended by loved ones and well-wishers.
Terens served in WWII as an enlisted Army Air Force Corporal. He first came to Normandy in 1944, where he transported captured Germans and freed American POWs shortly after D-Day. He chose to wed in Normandy to honor his fellow soldiers who died in battle.
Later that evening, the couple were invited to the Elysee Palace for a state dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron and U.S. President Joe Biden. President Macron toasted the couple that night, saying he was very pleased to be there for their wedding.
