Two bingo lovers with an average age of more than 90 have got married after meeting over their favourite game around five years ago. They have vowed to stay together until death do they part. Joan Williams and Robert Lafoya tied the knot in a special ceremony at their Twin Creeks retirement community in Central Point, Oregon. 'I'm 92 and I'm a cougar,' claimed the bride. Mr Lafoya added: 'I used to see her when we were eating and I used to say - that's a beautiful looking woman. 'It was just decided between ourselves that we need each other. To take care of each other.' While they had originally planned to get married at city hall their fellow residents and staff at Twin Creeks convinced them to let them to be more involved. Twin Creeks staff and neighbours performed the roles of flower girl, best man, and maid of honour. Resident Flo Bohnert, who officiated the ceremony, suggested it was 'inspiring' as it showed that people can find love at any age. Mr Lafoya wearing the same suit he had worn to his previous weddings, claimed this set of nuptials would be his last. He added: 'This is the best day of my life. She probably saved me. And I feel that I need her.'
