She's 26, he's 51. An age-gap marriage being forged in Seattle. Right now. It's the ongoing tale of our days and daftness through two lenses: two generations in one apartment and one bed.It's also about age gaps everywhere that any of us notice... from those height-measure marks in the hallway wall that you pause before painting over, to a pensioner who sits next to a teen in college class. In short -- literally, for once -- everything in between. MATT BULLEN was born and raised in England. He is a writer, podcaster, and for 20 years worked in pediatric healthcare. He is now studying, on a federal scholarship, to work with people who are visually impaired or deafblind. Anything posh? Hmm. He won two service awards during his time in children's healthcare. He went to the same schools as Ben Elton (Blackadder), Terry Jones (Monty Python), Simon Bird, and the cricketer Bob Willis, and there are a couple of lines about him on Wikipedia. CECILIA CAPEHART-BULLEN was born in D.C. and raised in North Virginia. She moved to Seattle in 2018, to live with her childhood friend. She met Matt in Seattle, at a supermarket, while they were both buying groceries. Cecilia works as a home care aide in Seattle. Anything posh? Her great granddad was the late U.S. Senator Homer E. Capehart. Presented and produced by: Cecilia Capehart-Bullen and Matt Bullen.
