Eastbourne (United Kingdom) (AFP) - A 103-year-old man and a 91-year-old woman held their wedding in Britain on Saturday, becoming the oldest couple to get married in the world.

George Kirby and Doreen Luckie -- together for 27 years -- looked delighted as they tied the knot at a hotel in the seaside town of Eastbourne, southern England, before close friends and family.

The bride wore a white dress with blue flowers while the groom, a former boxer, was dressed smartly in a suit and tie, and was in a wheelchair following a recent fall.

With a combined age of 194 years, the pair beat the previous record held by a French couple, Francois Fernandez and Madeleine Francineau, who had a combined age of 191 years.

Speaking ahead of the ceremony, Luckie said the couple had "no regrets" about not doing it earlier. "We didn't want to bother about marriage before but eventually we did it," she said.

The couple reportedly have seven children, 15 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren between them.

They got engaged on Valentine's Day this year, according to the Daily Mail.

"I didn't get down on one knee, because I don't think I would have been able to get back up," the newspaper quoted Kirby as saying.

When the probability of a possibility is very low and it happens, we find it amazing :-)

Depends on the context . .. The probability of death during cardiac bypass surgery is considered low .. but it happens . . Does not make it amazing :-)


Its ok if you are in the mood of pulling my leg...or have you woken up from the wrong side of your bed :-)

Why are you so obsessed with 'death'?

I'm obsessed with breaking records.I'm sure I just broke a personal self abuse record. I'd like to break this record. I just need to find a 147 year old. Now that would be amazing.

Sometimes my Liverpudlian girls need a good spanking,
But they are both pretty cool.:wink:

Ummmmmmmm

I have done hospice care many times. I have NEVER provided a good Death.

But yes I have done everything possible to provide a good and comfortable life right up to and including the last breath.

And yes I want to go out on my own terms but I will do it myself thank you very much.

That's quite an admirable story :) I'd rather hear about more stuff like this, than how some people, were only married to each other for eight months. I almost wanted to cry with joy after reading that :) It puts a warm feeling in my heart.
