A love story between two hiking fans (with a surprise ring bearer story!) #Real Weddings: Northeast US#brides over 40#new jersey#short dress#short hair Posted Jan 4 2016 Catherine Clark bijouxandbits Photos by: Carole Cohen Photography Photos by Carole Cohen Photography Joe and Anne met on a cruise ship a few years ago and decided to get married at 60 years old. Joe had never been married before, but when Joe met Anne, he knew she was the love of his life. They got married at Schooley's Mountain Lodge, their favorite hiking spot. After their ceremony, they hiked to a waterfall for some photos. The best part? When he was a little boy, Joe was the ring bearer for his uncle. When Joe got married in June, his uncle, now 80 years old, was his ring bearer!

You never know where you'll find love! Reply I want their cake. And to go hiking there. I can have both, right ? Reply There's something impish about Joe. He has the spirit of a young Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn. I just sense that. What a sweet love story and I adore seeing a couple of a different age group!
