Marriages Against All Odds

Love is a many splendored thing.
 
It is something that people can talk about but not judge at.

Love, to some, is a matter of the heart. . .and to others. . .of the mind.
 
But whatever the reason will be, it is their lives, not ours.
 
Let us let them be.



89 years old J. Howard Marshall married 26 years old Anna Nicole Smith in 1994. With an age gap of 63 years, the public cannot help raising their eyebrows. The groom is wheel-chair bound but a billionaire.



Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn have 35 years between them. But more than the age gap, Soon-Yi happened to be the adopted daughter of Woody's former partner. From mother to daughter. That is quiet a transition.



From manager to husband. 26 years her senior, that is how Rene Angelil mattered in Celine Dion's life. Most convenient but could be quiet difficult to balance. But with true love, there could be no problem with that.



"I'd like to father your children." Michael Douglas told Catherine Zeta-Jones. He is exactly 25 years her senior. Michael showed wisdom and experience. Why go the long and winding road of love when you can have it directly. She agreed.



Jeri Kehn is the trophy wife Fred Dalton Thompson was longing for. He got her.The 25 years age difference seem to work for them, they are happily married.



Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had the most publicized courtship. TomKat as they are otherwise dubbed, are 16 years apart. But it doesn't show, on Tom's part.



Who could ever forget the fairy-tale wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana? With 13 years between them, the number seemed bad luck for the marriage. Just kidding.



Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, dubbed as "the beauty and the brain," have 11 years age gap. How come the world's most famous sex symbol got smitten with a playwright? It is the mind and the body coming together.



With not only a 10 year age difference between them, Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett's romance had been unfairly dubbed as "the beauty and the beast," by the harsh tabloids. With that humiliating label, no wonder the couple split after two years.



Thomas Daniel "Tommy" Mottola, married his third wife Thalia. He is older by 22 years. Can't blame Tommy, Thalia is simply gorgeous.

Marrying someone younger is not a man's domain.
Forever young Ms. Demi Moore married Ashton Kutcher, 15 years her junior.



Ah... love is indeed a many splendored thing!
