Love for the ages at Bensonhurst nursing home
Sometimes, it takes a little longer for Cupid’s arrow to hit its target.
Frances Buttel and Richard Nygaard proved that love can be found at any age. The happy couple, who are both residents of the Bensonhurst Center at 84th Street (also known as Holy Family Home), a nursing home at 1740 84th St., were married in the center’s chapel in front of scores of family members, friends, fellow residents and nursing home staff members on Tuesday.
Buttel, 59, and Nygaard, 74, were married in a traditional Catholic mass officiated by the Rev. Guy Sbordone, pastor of Saint Frances of Cabrini Church in Bensonhurst.
