https://www.yahoo.com/style/florida-man-accidentally-marries-granddaughter-134404942.htmlJust three months into their marriage, a Florida couple got the surprise of their lives after discovering that the bride was the grooms biological granddaughter....
I just felt strange when I saw her photos, the man said. It was like a sense of déjà vu, but at the time I couldnt figure out why she seemed so familiar.
Despite finally figuring it out, however, the couple have decided to stay together, and have no plans of getting divorced.
If wed never found out, we wouldve lived out lives happily together, and us being related shouldnt change that, the 68-year-old said.

Doesn't Trump have a place in Florida?

Sorry, internet, but that 'man marries granddaughter' story is probably fake
By Jason Abbruzzese
If you wanted to trick a bunch of media outlets into picking up a fake viral story, how would you go about it?
First, you'd probably choose the state of Florida, which can probably start counting weird news stories among its major exports. Second, you'd throw up a website with a generic newspaper name. Third, come up with some sort of news story that is tailor-made to bring in the clicks.
And here we are, with the "Florida Sun Post," and a story about a Miami millionaire who accidentally married his daughter.
All indications point to the story and the website being fake. That hasn't stopped numerous media outlets from picking up the story, including The Independent, Elite Daily, Complex and UK tabloid The Sun. Those reports then spread further, with the New York Post, picking up the Sun's report.

(Which would be much more hilarious if the term "grandfather clause" didn't carry some pretty terrible racial baggage.)
