World
record 80 years of marriage
A
British couple has broken the world record for having the longest
marriage. Percy Arrowsmith, 105, and 100-year-old Florence celebrated
their eightieth wedding
anniversary on
June 1. They got married on June 1, 1925,
in Hereford, England.
Britain’s
Queen Elizabeth sent the
world record-breaking pair a congratulatory
card.
She said their marriage was a “splendid achievement” and sent
them “warm congratulations”. The record breakers celebrated their
anniversary with a party in their home, surrounded by family and a
few close friends.
The
couple’s daughter, Jane Woolley, said both her parents were “as
happy as Larry”. She
said they still have a very loving relationship. She also said they
have “stuck
together through thick and thin”. She
described their relationship as being very close, just like “two
peas in a pod”.
The
couple gave their secret to a lasting marriage – always apologize
after every argument and
never go to sleep without apologizing. They also recommended kissing
and holding hands before going to bed. Mrs. Arrowsmith told the BBC:
“I think we’re very blessed. We
still love one another, that’s the most important
part.” congratulatory
