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 card:tebrik kartı              wedding anniversary:evlilik yıldönümü   

as happy as Larry: çok mutlu      Stuck together through thick and thin:iyi günde kötü günde birlikte olmak 

two peas in a pod:elmanın iki yarısı olmak                 blessed:şanslı  argument:tartışma  recommend:tavsiye etmek,tembih etmek            the world record-breaking pair:dünya rekoru kıran çift
