Woman weds boyfriend after rejecting proposals for 43 years

A couple who lived and worked side-by-side for 43 years have finally tied the knot after the bride turned down the groom's proposals every year.

Colin Jones asked Pauline Young to marry him every year since they first met 43 years ago, and after the latest "no" had resigned himself to never being able to put a ring on her finger.

But Colin's fortunes took a turn for the better late last year, when Pauline proposed to Colin instead – of course, he agreed.
