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!

I love the brides dress. Love the photo were she is in her hiking boots and wedding dress.
I think I will be smiling all day today. Why? This sweet, beautiful couple!
So wonderful! You never know where you’ll find love!
I want their cake. And to go hiking there. I can have both, right ?
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!
I love finally seeing an older couple featured here, but then there may be many as I am fairly new to the site. I am planning my own oddbeat union in October of 2016….hope to send it in. Thanks…love the articles.

Thank you for directing me…I just love the tattooed bride with the “conservative” groom. Much like me and my bethrothed!
I just noticed my typo…oddbeat instead of offbeat. haha….so true!
YES! Weddings at every age!
super cute! Love the hiking shoes with the wedding dress.
This wedding is adorable and the location is absolutely stunning. I love both their outfits with the hiking boots! Congratulations! 🙂
this is absolutely precious! I love that they found each other!
