Man, everyone is jumping to the conclusion there's an age gap. Have none of you met anyone that doesn't look their age?
As an aside, my wife and I are 14 years apart. She's the older one. Started dating when I was 23 (she was 37, so the "rule" would have put her limit at 25.5) and married for nearly a decade now.
My wife and I are eleven months apart. She gets carded and I don't. Some people just look young.
... and I spent fifteen years on drugs and heavy drinking.
I get carded if I shave and don't have a beard but that's only an age difference of 12 years off my real age and to be honest I don't actually think they think I'm under 21 it just just aren't 100% certain, so they card me.
But for my wife to look like my daughter that would have to be at least an apparent 20 year age difference, minimum.
