TL;DR Summary

100-year-old World War II veteran Harold Terens and his 96-year-old fiancee Jeanne Swerlin, both widowed, are set to marry near the beaches where U.S. troops landed in France, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the country's liberation from the Nazis. Terens, who served as a U.S. Army Air Forces corporal, shared his wartime experiences, including repairing planes on D-Day and a covert mission to the USSR. The couple's love story began in 2021, and they will be honored in Paris before their wedding in a 1600s chapel in Carentan-les-Marais, with the mayor making an exception to marry them.
