Millie Taylor-Morrison and Harold Morrison are living, breathing proof that it’s never too late for love.

The New Jersey couple wed this year on October 16th, marking more than six decades after they first met. According to the story, 86-year-old Millie was married to her first husband for 41 years before he died in 1992 and years later, she reconnected with 85-year-old Harold. Ironically, Harold was actually a guest at her first wedding in 1952.

Millie told PEOPLE Magazine, “I used to sing in the choir and Harold attended my church. I would be standing with the other choir members, waiting to walk out and he would come over and kiss me on the cheek before sitting down for the service.”

The story goes that Millie and Harold didn’t see each other again for many years until Harold joined her new church in Orange, New Jersey. Millie continued, “I used to admire him in church,” she says. “He dressed impeccably and I admire that in a man.”

Before making it official, Harold became really sick, to the point where he couldn’t live alone. “I asked him if he wanted to live with me instead of a nursing home. And he said, ‘Definitely.’ I love him, but I can’t have him living in my house. I have granddaughters and grandsons,” she said.

The lovely pair finally decided on a wedding date and tied the knot on Sunday at Zion Hill Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey, in front of 200 friends and family. She told the mag, “I’m a Christian woman and I want to live a Christian life. We decided that even though we were in our twilight years, we wanted to be pleasing in God’s eyes.”

Of course, the wedding photos were stunning. The gorgeous grandma used to model in the 1950s for Belle Mead Models, Inc.

Millie Morrison says she’s happier one week into newlywed life than she has ever been before.
