Two Iowa women in their 90s celebrated seven decades together as a couple by getting married over the weekend in a small ceremony.
Vivian Boyack, 91, and "Nonie" Dubes, 90, exchanged vows at the First Christian Church in Davenport on Saturday.
The couple then enjoyed a reception dinner with close friends and relatives.
Many of their friends had been prodding them to marry since gay marriage became legal in Iowa in 2009.
The Quad City Times reported that the two women met in Yale, Iowa and moved to Davenport in 1947.
The newspaper reported that the women had travelled extensively during their time together.
"We've had a good time," Ms Dubes was quoted as saying.
The newlyweds told the newspaper that is never too late for a new chapter in life.
"This is a celebration of something that should have happened a very long time ago," said Rev Linda Hunsaker.
