Two newlyweds have broken the Guiness World Record (GWR) by becoming the first to marry at an old age of 102 and 100 respectively.
The lovebirds, Bernie Littman, 100, and Marjorie Fiterman, 102, have proven that indeed love knows no age nor bounds.
Edum News gathered that the couple found love in a senior living facility and ties the knot in May 2024.
According to GWR, they officially became the world’s oldest newlyweds with a combined age of 202 years.
Giving details on their love story, GWR revealed that Marjorie and Bernie had lived over 60 years of marriage to their respective first spouses, but when their spouses passed away, they moved into the same floor of a senior living facility in Philadelphia, USA.
It was during this time that they found love again. The pair reportedly bonded by sharing meals and participating in their retirement community’s productions.
GWR’s report partly reads, “They tied the knot on 19 May after a nine-year relationship, making the pair the oldest couple to marry (aggregate age) with their combined ages of 202 years and 271 days.
“Bernie hit it off immediately with Marjorie when they first met at a costume party on their floor, and the romance began shortly after, they had their first date on the same day one of his great-granddaughters was born.
“Although they both could’ve crossed paths years prior when they attended the University of Pennsylvania at the same time, life seemingly has funny ways of making us wait. They studied different degrees. Bernie becoming an engineer, Marjorie a teacher and never met before that fateful day.”
