The sad girl marries a
An Unexpected Match
When 26-year-old Yuki announced she was marrying 70-year-old Kenji, friends were shocked.
“Girl, is he rich-rich?” one asked. Yuki, however,
had found comfort in a kind stranger on a beach in Okinawa during a difficult time.
Connection Over Convention
Kenji, a retired physics professor with a quirky humor, won her over quickly.
“I’ve lived long enough to know that most people are full of it. You’re not.
That’s rare,” he told her. Ten days later, they married. Yuki described what she found as “peace.”
Internet Buzz
Their story went viral, drawing criticism and celebration.
Yuki kept it simple: “Age is just a number. Unless it’s your cholesterol — that number matters.”
A Year Later
Now, Yuki blogs at Love, Lemonade & Kenji, sharing gardening mishaps,
binge-watching, and pancake nights.
Living between Japan and Oregon, they embrace a calm, joyful life together.
