Man, 103 And Woman, 91, Oldest Ever To Get Married
The British couple are the oldest-ever 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.

But why aren’t the fake christians getting all up in arms about this, these people can’t procreate and I thought that was what marriage was for. If gays can’t get married because they can’t have kids how come older folks who are past breeding age can get married?
When my gay marriage hating dad got married to his first fiance at age 70 I gave him both barrels about it and told him his cult’s argument about marriage being for birthing babies should have prevented him from marrying his 68 year old fiance. He shut up about it PDQ.

Remember that scene in “Rocky Horror”, where they start getting the church ready for a funeral right after the wedding (turning the flowers around so that they’re black, bringing in the coffin)?
Yeah.
That.
