Former Sen. Barry Goldwater made a second trip down the aisle at age 83.

The one-time Republican presidential candidate exchanged vows Sunday with Susan Shaffer Wechsler, 51. Goldwater's first wife, Peggy, died in 1986."He was happily married for most of his life, and this is a significant act for him," his new wife said before the private ceremony at her home.

The couple will take a honeymoon cruise to Asia aboard the Queen Elizabeth II.
