The two had been dating for about a year when they went to get their marriage license on Wednesday. They ended up just having their wedding right there.

這兩人交往約1年，週三去申請結婚許可，結果就在當場結婚。

"It wasn’t the plan, but we got here and they said we could marry you here. I said ’good, let’s get it over with," said John Cook.

約翰．庫克說，「原本的計畫不是這樣，但是我們到了那裡，他們說我們現在就能為你們證婚，我說『好啊，就結了吧』。」

It wasn’t a rash decision： They had been dating for about a year before they tied the knot.

這不是輕率的決定。他們結為連理之前，已經交往約1年。

"I know you think that may be a little bit far-fetched for somebody our age, but we fell in love with each other," Phyllis Cook said.

「我知道你會想，對於像我們這種年紀的人來說，這或許有點令人難以置信，但是我們愛上了彼此」，菲麗絲．庫克說。

"We were just compatible in a whole lot of ways, found ourselves enjoying each other’s company," added John.

「我們在很多方面都非常合得來，發覺很喜歡彼此作伴」，約翰補充說道。
