Love Has No Age Limit
It was on Saturday, September 2, 2023 that the famous 94-year-old singer Hugues Aufray said yes to Murielle Mégevand, his long-term companion who is 45 years younger than him. Despite approaching the 100-year mark, Hugues Aufray continues to live life to the fullest. The newlyweds were filmed leaving the Church of Saint-Vigor de Marly-le-Roi, the opportunity to discover the outfits of the bride and groom. Muriel opted for a classic long dress and her black hair was covered with a veil decorated with embroidery. No suit for Hugues Aufray, too conventional for him, the singer wore black jeans, a white shirt covered with a fringed jacket. A pair of santiags completed his wedding look.
Witnesses to a Memorable Day
Several personalities were among the guests, including the host Jean-Luc Reichmann accompanied by his wife Nathalie Lecoultre, Dave or David Séchan, Renaud’s brother. While “a security cord filtered the entrances into the royal church”, the family and friends of the newlyweds were able to witness the exchange of their vows. The lovers sealed their love with a beautiful release of doves. In an article published on its website, Paris Match gives a little more detail about the big day. “It was on Bach’s Aria Suite No. 3 that the future bride and groom entered before sitting in front of the altar where Louis XIV had previously meditated. Cloche sonnez, interpreted by Hugues Aufray, on a music by Bob Dylan, a tube of Sting revisited by Aufray, the Ave Maria and the Love in heritage sung by Nana Mouskouri, A song for you by Ray Charles: the playlist punctuating the prayers was unique.”
The Blessing of a Union
The evening continued with a dinner organized in Louveciennes, in a restaurant, before the newlyweds joined their house in Marly-le-Roi in the night. In June last year, France dimanche announced the upcoming marriage of Hugues Aufray with Murielle. This union was complicated by the fact that the singer was still married to Hélène Faure, the mother of his two daughters, Charlotte and Marie, and that he did not wish to divorce, the bonds of marriage being sacred to him. But the death of Hélène in 2021 made this wedding possible.
