According to the video's description, the two crossed paths when they were just a couple of 20-somethings.

Eighty years later, Arthur is still very much in love.

From the video description:

"Marcia can really only say "hello, hello" but she seems to have some sort of understanding of her surroundings (watch her crack up at Gideon's joke in the first clip). Arthur is a beautiful man and so incredibly in love with Marcia. You can tell how sad he is that she is no longer really here. Proud to have descended from these superhumans"

This story will warm even the coldest of hearts.
