CHICAGO, Aug. 31 (UPI) -- Chicago couple Rochelle Bunkley and Raymond Storey, both older than 70, are both planning to wed for the first time Saturday.

Bunkley, 72, and Storey, 71, had to ride a PACE van downtown to get their marriage license since Bunkley is confined to a wheelchair and Storey needs a walker to get around, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Friday.

The couple met outside the doctor's office of the Jackson Park Supportive Living center.

"He wasn't a fresh guy, which I've been accustomed to in my life," Bunkley told the Sun-Times as her wedding day approached. "He was sincere.”

And now they are making final preparations for their big day.

They will both wear pink, Storey a pink and black pin-striped suit, when they wed just upstairs from where they are living. Their wedding cake will be pink as well, the Sun-Times said.
