The oldest married couple in the world is 202 years old!

According to granddaughter Sarah Sicherman, Littman was married to his first wife for 65 years and has two children, four grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Twelve years ago, her grandfather came to a retirement home, where he met and fell in love with Marjorie, who was two years older. Fiterman had also been married for almost 40 years and had been a widow since 1999. Sicherman at ‘Fox Digital’: ‘We were all so happy that Grandpa found someone he could spend time with and do activities together.’ Even as the relationship grew closer over the next decade, the granddaughter was convinced that “they would just remain good friends until the end of their lives.” The news that her grandfather wanted to remarry was “just a small shock to me and the rest of the family.”

Unusual and beautiful
Bride Marjorie (102) and groom Bernie (100) were married in their retirement home in a Jewish ceremony by Rabbi Adam Wohlberg. For him, old-fashioned marriage is something unusual and beautiful: “Most of the couples I married met through some apps. I prefer the old-fashioned way, where you live in the same building as Marjorie and Bernie and fall in love.

Second chance at love
Interestingly, the bride and groom had attended the same college at the same time when they were young, but did not know each other. Wohlberg: “This proves that sometimes in life you get a second chance at love.” Granddaughter Sarah has already contacted the Guinness Book of Records headquarters. Because she found out that previous world record holders Dorren and George Kirby of England were 194 years old when they took their wedding vows. Littman and Fiterman beat that by almost eight years.
