Henry Kerr and Valerie Berkowitz Kerr speak of their courtship
At the age of 97, Henry Kerr has married 87-year-old Valerie Berkowitz after wooing her for four years.
The pair, who met at a residential home in Golders Green, north London, tied the knot in a ceremony at the home on Sunday followed by high tea for 80 guests.
Mr Kerr said when he asked the now Mrs Berkowitz Kerr to marry him she “burst into a hysterical laugh”.
She agreed after Mr Kerr said he would not ask her again.
Thank you Kendall. That made my day. Notice the gentleman’s reference to feeling uncomfortable living together without marriage, even at their advanced years. What a wonderful example to younger couples. BTW to US readers: the lady’s accent is strongly South African (or Rhodesian – in fact it sounds the latter to me).
Many years to them!
