Tina Turner Said No One at Her Wedding ‘Minded the Bride Was Aged 73’

Tina Turner, the renowned singer, expressed her joy at finding love again and getting married at the age of 73. After enduring an abusive marriage with her former music partner Ike Turner, Tina found happiness with German music producer Erwin Bach. The couple tied the knot in 2013 at their home in Switzerland, and Tina revealed that everyone embraced the age difference between the bride, who was 73, and the groom, who was 67.

In her autobiography ‘My Love Story’, Tina shared details about her wedding day, which she organized herself. She took great care to create a perfect and spectacular event, including importing over 100,000 roses to adorn their Swiss home. As friends gathered and champagne flowed, the atmosphere was filled with the sweet scent of flowers.

Tina also highlighted her choice of music for the occasion. She selected Frank Sinatra’s ‘My Way’ because she felt the lyrics perfectly resonated with her life: “The record shows I took the blows / And did it my way.” Despite the abuse she suffered in her previous marriage, Tina found a love that exceeded her wildest dreams.

Reflecting on her decision to marry Erwin, Tina emphasized that she longed to be with him more than anything else. She wasn’t actively seeking a husband but craved love after a life devoid of it. After Erwin’s second proposal, she realized that he genuinely loved her, which was paramount to her happiness. Tina recounted her journey, including her rejection of marriage due to past experiences, but eventually embraced the commitment because she knew Erwin was the love of her life.

Tina Turner’s story is a testament to finding love and happiness later in life. Despite the challenges she faced in her previous marriage, she discovered a fulfilling relationship that brought her immense joy and a sense of being truly loved.
