A couple from Ecuador who has been married for 79 years has been dubbed the world’s oldest married couple by Guinness World Records. Julio Cesar Mora Tapia, 110, and Waldramina Maclovia Quinteros Reyes, 104, have an aggregate age of 214 years and 358 days, the organization said in a statement yesterday, Aug. 25. Their paths crossed because Waldramina’s sister was married to Julio Cesar’s cousin. When the couple tied the knot in 1941, it was a secret ceremony because relatives from both sides did not approve of the marriage. Niña V.
