Buzz Aldrin

Buzz Aldrin, a former astronaut for the United States who made history by becoming the second person to set foot on the moon more than 50 years ago, wed on his 93rd birthday, telling reporters that he and his wife were as elated as a pair of teenagers who had eloped.

On his 93rd birthday, Aldrin posted to his more than 540,000 Twitter followers that he had finally married the love of his life, Dr. Anca Faur, and was extremely happy with the marriage. The tweet featured images of Aldrin wearing a tuxedo and Faur, who according to American media is 63 years old, wearing a long-sleeve bridal gown.

Buzz Aldrin Gets Married For The Fourth Time

On July 20, 1969, as part of NASA’s Apollo 11 mission, Aldrin became famous throughout the globe and earned a place in history by landing on the moon 20 minutes after his fellow astronaut, Neil Armstrong, took his historic first stride. According to her LinkedIn page, Faur, who holds a doctorate in chemical engineering, has worked as Buzz Aldrin Ventures’ executive vice president for the previous four years.

Aldrin posted on Twitter that the couple had gotten married at a modest location in Los Angeles- but they were extremely excited because they had each other- and that was what mattered to one of the most famous individuals in the country. 

Buzz Aldrin’s marriage to Dr. Faur is his fourth marriage. Aldrin was stunned by the enormous fame brought on by the Apollo 11 mission 54 years ago when he reached Earth. Although the former fighter pilot struggled with despair and substance abuse, he eventually accepted his celebrity and has since become well-known for his public appearances. In addition, he is the author of nine books and is still a supporter of human spaceflight.
