84 year olds tie knot at Carmichael Oaks

Nuptials were in the air at Carmichael Oaks Senior Living in early January. Two residents met and fell in love and decided it is never too late to tie the knot.

Kenn Johnson and Lola Chan, both 84 years old, were married on Jan. 15.

The couple was married at the home of the bride’s son and daughter-law, Dan and Deann Chan, in North Highlands. The bride’s son-in-law Bruce Colmer was best man and her daughter, Patty Colmer, was matron of honor.

Some 30 members from both Kenn’s and Lola’s families came from as far away as Washington, D.C., to Portland, Ore., to Torrance, Calif. and the surrounding area.

The youngest attendee was Lola’s great-granddaughter, Silk, age two.

The Rev. Stan Parker officiated the ceremony.

For their honeymoon, the couple plans to go on a month-long cruise from Singapore to Vancouver, B.C. this spring.
