Elderly Paraguayan Couple Marries After 80 Years Together

Elderly Paraguayan Couple Marries After 80 Years Together

Jose Manuel Riella and Martina Lopez might just be the oldest newlyweds ever.

The elderly Paraguayan couple -- Riella is 103 and Lopez is 99 -- recently married in a religious ceremony 80 years after their 1933 courtship. The pair had already tied the knot in a civil ceremony half a century ago, but had not had a religious ceremony at that time.

Many of the couple's eight children, 50 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren and 20 great-great-grandchildren attended the garden wedding.

Watch the video above for more details on their nuptials.
