One of the most romantic records belongs to British residents George Kirby and Doreen Lucky.

They were recognized as the oldest couple (based on their combined age) to get married.

The relationship between the man and woman was officially formalized in 2015, after they had spent 27 years together.

By that time, the couple already had seven children, 15 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

At that time, George was 103 years old and his bride was 91.

For the celebration, Doreen chose a white dress with blue flowers, and her groom, a former boxer, looked like a real dandy, wearing a suit and tie.

Even the wheelchair that George was forced to use due to a recent fall did not spoil the overall impression.

In total, the newlyweds are 194 years old, which allowed them to overtake the previous record holders, the French François Frenandes and Madeleine Francinho.

At the time of their marriage, which happened in 2002, François was 96 years old, while Madeleine was only 94.
