This Paraguayan couple met each other, fell in love and
moved in together in 1933, six years before the outbreak of
World War Two and now eighty years later, they decided to
cement their relationship, by getting married.
Jose Manuel Riella, 103, finally vowed to give himself to
Martina Lopez, his 99-year-old bride, during a ceremony
attended by dozens of their family members, their eight
children, 50 grandchildren , 35 great-grandchildren and 20
great-great-grandchildren.
As guests wiped away the tears, Mr Riella, who wore a
smart dark suit and a light blue shirt, sat in his wheelchair
and smiled at his wife, who wore a long white wedding
dress.
After the vows there was an ‘entertaining’ party and the
priest who presided over the Catholic ceremony said they
were the oldest newlyweds he had ever married.
