This couple’s meeting and unexpected union brought them into the spotlight in social media. See the reason

For Jim Adams, his art studio in White Rock, British Columbia was a place of solace after the death of his wife in 2017.

The 79-year-old artist and former college art professor told Global News, ‘You never get over it, you just get used to it.’

Adams’ home and studio, however, became too quiet during the isolationist plague.

He took a chance and joined a senior dating site that uses personality tests to pair up individuals over the age of 50 with potential partners.

‘I need something more in my life, I need a connection,’ Adams told Global News.

As Adams signed up for the program, White Rock resident and service veteran Audrey Coutts, 79, was preparing to delete her own account.

Most of the potential partners suggested by the program fell short of her expectations.

‘Some males would send me messages saying, ‘Contact me if you’d like,’ or ‘I like your photo,’’ she said.

Adams, who stands at a towering 6’8’, made it quite obvious in his profile that he was seeking a tall woman. It was pure chance that made Coutts a towering 5’10’.

Their timing was perfect, and they hit it off right away.

Adams remarked that he appreciated having someone whose head was closer to his own because he is so tall.

The relationship progressed quickly, and the couple got married on Sept. 25 — less than a year after their somewhat awkward first date at a bistro.

Laughing, Adams explained how he returned home to retrieve his wallet before returning to the office.

The picture was already on display at the Vancouver Art Gallery when he decided to propose by adding a ring to it.

On the ring is the name of the woman he already knew he would spend the rest of his life with.

During their intimate ceremony, Coutts and her husband exchanged vows while holding hands.

The pair claims that the excitement of the past year has left them too exhausted to plan a honeymoon just yet.

After thanking everyone for attending, I announced, ‘Now we’re going home, we’re going to put the laundry in the dryer, and we’re going to sit down and have a sleep.’
