Here are a few more Good News stories making the rounds . . .

1. A 26-year-old couple in England got married last month. Then three weeks later, they drove halfway across the U.K. to have a second wedding, just so the bride’s 91-year-old grandmother could be there for it. She has Alzheimer’s and couldn’t make it to their first ceremony.

2. A guy in New Jersey named Gabriel Nuez is about to be a dad. And his coworkers recently threw him a big surprise baby shower at work with balloons and cake. A video of him walking in is making the rounds online.

3. Five Americans detained in Iran for years got released in a big prisoner swap yesterday. They flew to Qatar, and were set to arrive back on U.S. soil sometime last night.

One of them is a 51-year-old businessman named Siamak Namazi. (SEE-uh-mack Nuh-MAH-zee). They arrested him in 2015 and accused him of spying, so he’d been in jail for eight years. He issued a statement thanking his supporters for not letting the world forget about him.
