The world's longest marriage!!!
Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher of New Bern, N.C., hold the world record for life in wedded bliss: 85 years. He's 104, and she's 101.
On their May 13 anniversary, they will join an elite club: the longest marriages on record. You must go back more than 200 years to find the other couple married 86 years.
A Fisher time line: Around their 10th anniversary, this everyday household appliance hit the carpet - the Vacuum Cleaner When they celebrated their 25th anniversary, this song was a hit – Patti Page – ‘how much is that doggie…’. When they marked their 50th, this irritating icon was everywhere (the yellow Smiley Face). By the time they reached their 75th year of marriage, we were hooked on this reality show – ‘Survivor’.
The Fishers dabbled in social media by ‘tweeting’ their secrets to a long, happy marriage for Valentine's Day last month.
Zelmyra Fisher still gets around with a walker. They credit their marital success to faith in God, a loving family and few big fusses over their long marriage.
Words of wisdom - when you get right down to it, former record-holder Percy Arrowsmith knew the key to wedded bliss boiled down to two words – “YES DEAR” !!!
