A 56-year-old woman from England became a bride for the ninth time when she got married to a toyboy, 32 years her junior, on Saturday.
Serial bride Pat Higgins walked down the aisle with her ninth husband, 24 year-old toyboy Mark Sanderson, at a modest ceremony in North Shields, Tyne and Wear, reports the Daily Mail.
Pat - who is older than her husband's mother, Jennifer - wore an ivory gown with beaded bodice and matching shrug for her latest wedding.
The grandmother, who has been branded 'black widow' and 'maneater' because of her past, met her newest husband 18 months ago at a rock club in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, where the pair lives.
Lovestruck Pat, who describes herself as a Christian on her Facebook page, has become notorious for her multiple marriages over the years, but she denied being a 'maneater', insisting this is her last walk up the aisle.
“People call me a maneater and a black widow which is silly.
''I'm not a predator, I just like to be happy in life - what's wrong with that? I want to be with someone who treats me like I should be treated,” she said.
“Most of my family are very supportive of me, although Mark's family are not happy.
“I'm an eternal optimist and have thought every marriage was going to work. But this time I know it's going to last.
“People might say he is too young but age has got nothing to do with love,” she said.
