UK's Oldest Newlyweds: Combined Age of 179!

Posted by Alex in World Records on November 28, 2008 at 3:39 pm

Congratulations to John Dawkins and Penny Cooper, who got married last week and therefore set a new UK record for oldest newlyweds!

Three months ago 90-year-old Penny Cooper made a leap-year proposal to 89-year-old John Dawkins, who she met at a charity event.

The couple, who have a combined aged of 179, tied the knot at a register office in Devon on Tuesday.
