Couple, 96, marry after meeting at Kansas senior living facility


The first time Carl Kruse asked his partner Doris Kriks-Kruse to marry him, she said no.

“I told him I was too independent,” the 96-year-old Kriks-Kruse told USA TODAY Wednesday afternoon. “I had been a widow for 5, 6, 7 or 8 years.”

Doris was married twice before meeting Carl and he was married once. He unsuccessfully tried to convince her that getting married to each other had more benefits than she could imagine. 

Carl, who is also 96 years old, was persistent and asked again last month for her hand in marriage. Last Sunday, the pair tied the knot at the very same senior living community that brought them together.
