The unusual couple met in 2011
A
GREAT-GRANNY plans to wed her 29-year-old toyboy to fulfill her husband’s dying
wish. Joan Lloyd, 67,
promised terminally ill hubby David
in 2010 she would get
a F-cup boob job and find love again with a younger man.
Fiancé Phil Absolom popped the question during a romantic holiday to the
Canary Islands after meeting the great-granny over the internet.
She
said:
From the
first moment I met Phil I felt butterflies and we just clicked. We are so much
in love and our sex life is great — I’m certainly not too old for that.
Like with
David, I knew straight away that Phil was someone I could spend my life with. We’re
like two peas in a pod — it’s like we’ve been together for years.
I never
thought I’d tie the knot again in my lifetime but I just follow my heart.
Now I’m
looking forward to spending the rest of my life with him. I know it’s meant to
be because we’re so right for each other.
Phil
who
is only a few years older than Joan’s grandson said: “Joan has an amazing figure and acts so much younger than her age. I’ve
had relationships with older women in the past but Joan is completely on my wavelength”.
She’s amazing and I want to spend
all my time with her. It’s like my mum says, age is just a number.
The couple are yet to set a date and
decide on an engagement ring, but they are already making plans for their
wedding.
The big-boobed granny wants a
blow-out hen do with a stripper while Phil
is more likely to stay at home for a quiet stag.
Joan would
like a romantic Michael Buble song
for their first dance but isn’t too sure the choice will go down with Phil — who prefers “ravey” music.
The pensioner says her husband of 49
years stated his last wish was for his wife to make up for the 15 years she
spent caring for him. Joan was just
19 when she met first husband David
at a dance in 1965 and the love-struck pair quickly tied the knot.
She cared for him for 15 years as he
battled heart and lung disease, cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes and
Alzheimer’s.
She
said:
Before
David died he told me to get a boob job and a toy boy after he passed away.
I was
shocked, but I knew he wanted me to enjoy my life. He told me I’d earned it. I
know he would be proud of me now.
The former model forked out £4,250
on breast implants in 2011, taking her from an A to an F cup. She was inundated
with more than 500 messages on Facebook who saw her story in The Sun from
admirers including Phil.
A year after meeting Phil moved in to the home Joan once shared with David in Abergele, North Wales.
The unusual pair are now set to wed
with the full blessing of Joan’s four children, 13 grandchildren and six great
grandchildren.
Dying
wish ... Joan cared for terminally ill David for 15 years
Joan
said:
My first
wedding to David was arranged quite
quickly so we didn’t have a big celebration. But this time I want a big white
wedding with a beautiful wedding dress.
Phil
and I want a nice church and a manor house.
All our
family are looking forward to the wedding — and Phil’s parents are really happy
he’s settling down.
