By Lauren Porter · Updated October 26, 2020

It’s been a big year for Murphy and Lucinda Wilson.

Murphy, 70, and his love Lucinda, 67, nearly broke the internet earlier in the summer when their sweet engagement photos went viral and proved you’re never too old to find the love of your life. 

Now that they’re officially newlyweds, they’re back at it again, giving Instagram and Twitter major feels with their newly released wedding photos.

They tied the knot on Saturday July 29th during a wedding ceremony to remember and all of the love was captured and chronicled on Instagram by their photographer, Gianna Snell. 

What God has for you, is for you!! It's official!!! My celebrity clients☺️, Murphy and Lucinda, who proved it's never too late to find love, have tied the knot! On Saturday, July 29, 70-year-old Murphy Wilson and 67-year-old Lucinda Myers exchanged vows and said "I do" at the very place where their love began, the First Seventh-day Adventist Church in Huntsville, Alabama. Congratulations to this beautiful and inspiring couple!!! To see more of their wedding day photos and read quotes from the couple about their big day, visit my blog.

“When I saw her coming down the aisle, it took everything in me to hold it together. She looked so beautiful!,” Murphy said of seeing his bride on their big day as captioned by Snell.

The groom was so smitten with his bride as she walked down the aisle that he just stood there...frozen...lol! The pastor had to nudge him and tell him, "Go get her!" The sanctuary erupted with laughter as he hurried over to her! Photo cred: Norman Usher #murphyandlucinda

Cleveland “Murphy” Wilson and Lucinda Myers met in the same Hunstville, Alabama church where they later choose to wed. They say they fell in love  shortly after they began dating in April. A month later they were engaged. Their July nuptials were a dream come true for Lucinda who told ABC News she “never had a real wedding before.”

Murphy and Lucinda had theeee longest wedding kiss ever!! Then they followed it up with another one right before the pastor announced them husband and wife! The pastor wasn't ready at all! Lol! Photos by: Norman Usher #murphyandlucinda

Cheers to dream weddings and happily ever after.
