The marriage of Virginia newlyweds Edith Hill, 96, and Eddie Harrison, 95, is being questioned by Hill's daughter and the courts.

The elderly couple married earlier this year, but Hill was declared legally incapacitated years ago. Hill's daughters are her co-guardians, but have opposing views on the marriage.

Hill and Harrison were friends for over a decade before one of Hill's daughters, Rebecca Wright, took them to get married. Hill said it was a decision that made sense for them.

"I guess I wanted company," she told the Associated Press. "I wanted somebody I could help, and they could help me. ...We were both single. My husband was gone. His wife was gone. We became the best of friends."

Wright, however, did not consult with her sister, Patricia Barber before the nuptials. Barber retained attorney Cary Cuccinelli to protest the legality of the marriage.

"Legally, Mr. Harrison now has a right to a portion of Ms. Hill's estate," Cuccinelli told Judge James Clark last month. Hill's estate includes property in Old Town Alexandria that is worth about $475,000.

Judge Clark found the marriage to be improper, and removed both Wright and Barber as guardians. An attorney, Jessica Niesen, now oversees Hill's legal matters, and will determine if the marriage should end.

Wright opposes a post-nuptial agreement, and also does not want the marriage annulled. Hill's granddaughter, Robin Wright, said the couple are in love.

"You catch them kissing all the time," she said. "They're actually in love. Really in love. ... I know he's part of the reason she gets up every morning."

Niesen said that she will interview the couple, and consider inheritance and living arrangement issues, but is not set out to break up the marriage.

"I see no reason to break this couple up, if there is no harm," she told the AP.
