First Dates viewers can’t get enough of adorable elderly pairing Raymon and Cecilia
At 90, Raymon is the show's oldest ever participant
FIRST Dates' elderly pairing Raymon and Cecilia showed the young daters how it's done on Tuesday's edition of the show.
Viewers flocked to Twitter to compliment the duo with many revealing the romantic date had reduced them to tears.
At 90, Raymon is the oldest participant in the show's history and he melted viewers' hearts as he talked about his late wife.
Meanwhile, Cecilia grew tearful as she remembered her late boyfriend Tom, who died two years ago.
Cecilia was nominated for the show by her granddaughter, without her knowing about it, while Raymon put himself forward after growing tired of being alone, saying that the only conversation he gets is with the supermarket staff.
The latter was married for nearly 50 years before his wife died 16 years ago.
He told the camera: "We adored each other. I think I knew love."
Raymon and Cecilia really hit it off and danced their way out of the restaurant after confirming they would see each other again.
