These Abuelos Fell In Love During Quarantine And Got Married An abuelos couple proved that it is never too late to find true love as they get married at a very advanced age.

One Brazillian couple is sending the internet into a frenzy with their love story to give hope to those who have not been so lucky in love.

Branca and Marcelino found love amid the COVID-19 pandemic and a whirlwind presidential election when finding love is not the top priority of people these days. 

The couple are from São Paulo, Brazil, who never gave up their love for each other. At 96 and 100 respectively, the couple who were just married will spend the rest of their lives together, according to We Are Mitu.

Love amid the pandemic

Two years ago, the couple met in a nursing home, but they grew closer during the COVID-19 lockdown. However, Marcelo says in an interview with Telemundo that he knew Branca was the love of his life from the moment they first met. 

At a small ceremony in front of their children, some are more than 70 years old; their marriage took place. The couple celebrated their wedding for one another with a simple ceremony because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The memorable event was attended by their closest relatives and a few close friends from the nursing home where the couple first met. Their inspiring love story has filled Branca and Marcelino with new joy, life, and youth.

In September, Latin Post reported Ecuadorian spouses who have been the world's oldest married couple by Guinness World records. Since February 1941, Waldramina Quinteros and Julio Mora have been married for 79 years. 

According to AP News, the couple secretly married as both families disapproved of their relationship at the time. However, the sweethearts knew from the start that they were meant for each other, so Mora slipped away from his parents to marry Quinteros. 

Mora, 110, and Quinteros,104, are retired teachers living in Quito's capital city. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the couple missed large family gatherings.

Cecilia, Mora's and Quinteros' daughter, described the couple as active, lucid, and in good health. The couple has felt a bit depressed by the ongoing health crisis, as per Cecilia.

She explained that they have been different, more downcast because of missing large family gatherings for several months.

The Ecuadorian couple had the Guinness World of Records certification and their prize from the world-famous record-keeping authority.

The spouses enjoyed many happy moments and faced challenges like the other married couples, according to the Guinness World Records. But the couple's love and respect for each other remains the same, which secured the title of the oldest married couple.
