Named Valdemira Rodrigues de Oliveira, she is 106 years old. She has emerged the oldest woman to get an engagement ring!
A Brazilian
pensioner, Valdemira said yes to her 66-year-old toyboy, Aparecido Dias Jacob, at a ceremony
despite being given advice by physicians not to go ahead with it.
The smitten seniors have separate rooms at Nossa Senhora.
The couple is determined
to prove it’s never too late to be with your soulmate after three years
together at the Fatima retirement home in Pirassununga, Brazil.
Medics assessed their health and age and warned the duo
would not be able to cope with living on their own. But the elderly sweethearts
exchanged engagement rings in a betrothal service organised by volunteers under
an initiative called the Project of Dreams.
Speaking about her love for her future husband, the centenarian said: ‘I fell in love with him. I like him a lot. If he dies, I die too.”

It’s going to be
the first time either of them would be married. Neither have children and most
of Valda’s relatives have died while Jacob has lost touch with his family.
