You probably hear people say it is never too late to find love, but you have always never agreed with such statement.<\/p>\n

The story of Murphy and Lucinda will make you have second thoughts , the couple proved it\u2019s never too late to find love after they tied the knot \u00a0on Saturday, July 29, 2017.
\n<\/p>\n

Murphy, 70, and Wilson and 67-year-old Lucinda Myers exchanged vows and said \u201cI do\u201d at the very place where their love began.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The couple met at church after #praying for years for God to bless them with love. The search is over.<\/p>\n

Wilson was widowed in 2013 and wasn\u2019t sure he could move on until he met Myers at church.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were married for 41 years. We were very, very, very close,\u201d Wilson said of his late wife, Antoinette. \u201cI discovered about myself I\u2019m not built to be a bachelor. I didn\u2019t like being by myself. We were like one person for 41 years. We literally said, \u2018To have and to hold \u2018til death do us part\u2019 and that was what we went through. But I got to a point where I recognized I still have a lot of love left.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe swept me off my feet. I just fell in love with this gorgeous woman,\u201d Wilson told\u00a0ABC News. \u201cAnd of course she fell in love with me because of my charm and suave. My daughters \u2014 and I love my daughters \u2014 they decided they were going to be wedding planners and put all of this together. They decided we should have a photo shoot in the downtown park of Huntsville.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After his wife\u2019s death, Wilson said he would \u201cpray and pray\u201d for the Lord to bring someone else into his life, until he realized, \u201cthe answer to my prayer was sitting in the balcony with me for the last four years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Myers agreed, explaining that she and Wilson had been interested in each other for quite some time at church but had never really spoken.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has a beautiful smile. I love him so much,\u201d she said of Wilson. \u201cHe has such a calm demeanor about him. The Lord just put us together for a reason. We\u2019re just so happy. I couldn\u2019t have asked for a better mate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Myers is excited because she said she \u201cnever had a real wedding before.\u201d This time around she\u2019s already chosen her wedding dress and is hiding it from Wilson.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thinking I\u2019m going to have to have a facial massage because I\u2019ve been grinning so much,\u201d said Wilson. \u201cI\u2019ve been telling everybody that I have been blessed again. I never thought God would give me another fantastic mate and he has. I just didn\u2019t think it would happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n
