Hugh Hefner is marrying someone 34 years younger than his daughter Christie

Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris in Las Vegas in 2009. Awk. Ward.

And now, a completely normal story about a man getting engaged to his girlfriend over the holidays. From E!:

It certainly was a very merry Christmas at the Playboy Mansion. Hugh Hefner, 84, and his 24-year-old girlfriend Crystal Harris are engaged. The two began dating almost two years ago.

Hef tweeted, "When I gave Crystal the ring, she burst into tears. This is the happiest Christmas weekend in memory."

Of course she burst into tears. You'd cry, too, if you were a 24-year-old engaged to an 84-year-old. Hell, I'm surprised she hasn't jumped off a bridge yet.

It is common in Islam for the village or clan elders to have very young wives. Hugh just needs to discipline her on occassion to keep her faithful and encourage her respect.

Hair like December's snow

Cheeks like April's flowers

When the two mingle

A bond is formed

can't fault a guy for finding a young chick greedy enough to bang a dude that's old enough to be her great-grandfather.

June - December romances are so touching. This must be a true love match, and I am sure Crystal will take good care of her new hubby.
