Centenarian couple Bernard Littman (100) and Marjorie Fiterman (102) happily tied the knot and set the Guinness World Record for the “Oldest couple to marry (aggregate age)”. This heartwarming event took place at the Fountain View at Logan Square retirement home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on May 19, 2024.

The oldest couple to marry are Bernard Littman and Marjorie Fiterman (both USA), with an aggregate age of 202 years 271 days, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, on 19 May 2024.

The couple decided to marry after a decade together.

The couple, who have been together for 10 years, decided to wed after Fiterman’s recent fall and broken leg, prompting her to suggest marriage. …Despite their age and physical limitations, Littman and Fiterman’s love and companionship led them to make their relationship official, embodying the sentiment that “life’s short, let’s do this.”
