It is a love story that began six years before the outbreak on World War Two.
Now, eighty years on, a Paraguayan couple who fell in love and moved in together in 1933 have decided to cement their relationship – by getting married.
Jose Manuel Riella, 103, vowed to give himself to Martina Lopez, his 99-year-old bride, during a ceremony attended by dozens of their family members.
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.
The wedding was held at the couple’s home in Santa Rosa de Aguaray where an altar had been erected for the event.
