Buzz Aldrin and Dr. Anca Faur are married!
The astronaut celebrated his 93rd birthday on Friday by marrying his longtime girlfriend in Los Angeles, he revealed in a statement posted on Twitter.
“On my 93rd birthday & the day I will also be honored by Living Legends of Aviation I am pleased to announce that my longtime love Dr. Anca Faur & I have tied the knot,” Aldrin wrote. “We were joined in holy matrimony in a small private ceremony in Los Angeles & are as excited as eloping teenagers.”
Accompanying the tweet were two photographs from the couple’s intimate ceremony, including one of the happy pair posing together, as well as another of a more candid moment of the duo in conversation.
For their special day, Faur wore a white bridal gown adorned with rhinestones, while Aldrin donned a black suit that he decorated with various pins.
Aldrin’s marriage to Faur — who currently serves as the executive vice president of Buzz Aldrin Ventures, per the Los Angeles Chapter of the Romanian-American Chamber of Commerce — marks the fourth time that the NASA spaceman has wed.
