Two great-grandparents who had a whirlwind wedding because the groom was fighting in World War II finally had their dream big day - 75 years later. Dick Lee, 94, was serving his country as a coast guard in the Second World War when he proposed to his high-school sweetheart, Helen Lee, 93, in a love letter. While he was on 10 days' leave in 1943, the pair tied the knot in quiet civil ceremony in Indianapolis, US - though they later regretted never having an official church wedding.
