A 106 Brazilian pensioner, Valdemira Rodrigues de Oliveira, is set to get married to her 66-year-old lover, Aparecido Dias Jacob.
The two lovers exchanged engagement rings in a betrothal service, organized by volunteers under an initiative called the Project of Dreams, despite an advice by physicians not to go ahead with it.
Speaking about her love for her future husband, the centenarian said: “I fell in love with him.
I like him a lot. If he dies, I die too.”
Medical doctors assessed their health and age and warned the duo, known affectionately as Valda and Jaco, would not be able to cope with living on their own.
The smitten seniors have separate rooms at Nossa Senhora Fatima retirement home in Pirassununga, south east Brazil, and were determined to prove it’s never too late to be with your soulmate after three years together.
