CAMARILLO, Calif., June 1 (UPI) -- A California minister who performed a wedding ceremony in which the bride and groom were both 95-years-old called it a once in a life time experience.
The newlyweds -- Bernice Jenkins and Wallis "Rich" Richard -- made it legal Saturday before more than 200 guests at a Baptist church in Camarillo, Calif., the Los Angles Times reported.
"I think we'd be staggered to be here with one 95-year-old. But two 95-year-olds is something I don't think we will ever see again," the Rev. Paul Phillipps told the congregation.
Both the bride and groom had been married to their previous spouses for more than 60 years and both lost their spouses within the past 10 years, the newspaper said.
The couple said their marriage proves it is possible to find love late in life.
One of Jenkins' two sons said Richard proposed to her on their first date, 18 months ago, but that only frightened her. Jenkins says she changed her mind in February.
"He spoils me something awful," she said. "And he's got a cute sense of humor."
