From his wheelchair, Jose Manuel Riella, 103, promised his eternal¹ love to Martina Lopez, his 99-year-old bride, who wore a long white dress.

The wedding was held in the couple's garden, where an altar had been set up.

The ceremony was attended by many of their eight children, 50 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren and 20 great-great-grandchildren.

The priest² said they were the oldest newlyweds he had ever known.
