After 80 years together 103-year-old Jose Manuel Riella and 99-year old Martina Lopez of Paraguay, finally decided to tie the knot in a religious ceremony. The blushing bride explained, “My children wanted us to get married, they told me that is what they wanted.” The two were joined in a civil union 40 years ago, but at that time did not perform the sacrament of marriage of the Catholic Church

The couple has built a sizable family in their 80 years together with eight children, 50 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren and 20 great-great-grandchildren.
