altPlenty of ladies worry that they'll never meet Mr. Right, but if you feel like time is running out, take a deep breath and remember - it's never too late. Just ask Rose Pollard, who waited 30 years to say "I do" to her sweetheart, Forrest Lunsway. Finally, three decades after he first asked her to marry him, Forrest took his wife's hand in marriage - on the eve of his 100th birthday.

At ages 90 and 100, respectively, Rose and Forrest are officially the world's oldest newlyweds. In fact, they plan to apply to the Guinness Book of World Records - they're 82 days older than the French couple that currently holds the title. The couple met when mutual friends introduced Forrest to Rose as a potential ballroom dance partner - an activity the duo still enjoys, The Daily reports. They've also walked the entire coast of California and gone kayaking in Alaska together. Despite a few bad habits - Forrest smoked at a pack a day for 27 years, loves fried food and still imbibes a drink or two at dinner -the two believe that their shared love of staying active has not only brought them together, but kept them alive.

So, if you're stressed out at 30, 35 or even 40 about finding your soulmate, don't fret - you've still got plenty of time. " That's one of the things we can forget about - time," Rose told the news outlet. " Because time doesn't mean that much."
