A Philadelphia couple has earned a place in the Guinness World Records for their remarkable love story, becoming the world’s oldest newlyweds. Marjorie Fiterman, 102, and Bernie Littman, 100, made history when they wed on May 19, after nearly a decade of companionship.
Their combined age at the time of their marriage was an impressive 202 years and 271 days, according to Guinness World Records.
The couple’s bond grew over shared meals and participation in activities at their retirement community, where they first met. Bernie attributes his long life and happiness to his passion for reading and staying informed, while Marjorie credits her longevity to the simple joy of drinking buttermilk.
The couple’s love story began after both had lost their spouses of over 60 years. They met at a senior living facility, and their connection was instant. According to Guinness World Records, the two hit it off at a costume party held on their floor, sparking a romance that blossomed quickly. Their first date coincided with the birth of one of Bernie’s great-granddaughters.
The couple’s story serves as a heartwarming reminder that it’s never too late to find love.
