Julio Cesar Mora Tapia slipped away from his parents to secretly marry Waldramina Maclovia Quinteros Reyes on one February day, as both families disapproved of them being together.

However, now, 79 years later, they’re still together—he is 110 years of age, and she is 104, both lucid and in good health, though relatives say they’re a little depressed because they miss their big family get-togethers due to the pandemic.
