|

A husband and wife from China who are each more than 100 years old have finally posed for a wedding photo -– 88 years after they tied the knot.

Wu Conghan, 101, and wife Wu Sognshi, 103, have been together for nearly nine decades -- they got married in 1924, the Sun reported. At that time, not many cameras were available in China.

Thanks to a city-wide initiative in which photographers have been taking wedding pictures of elderly couples who missed them originally, the pair from Nanchong, Sichuan, has a new keepsake.

The couple happily dressed up in full wedding attire for the momentous occasion.
