Bernard Littman is 100 years old. His blushing bride, Marjorie Fiterman, is 102. Guinness World Records has awarded them the record for the world's oldest newlywed couple having a combined age of 202 years and 271 days.
The Guardian reports that this is a second marriage for both of them. Both were married to other people for more than 60 years before being widowed. The groom attributes his long life to reading and the bride to buttermilk. They passed the century mark after they met in their residential facility in Philadelphia.
Littman and Fiterman fell in love and decided to marry. The presiding rabbi sensibly chose to forego giving marital advice to seniors, saying that they knew what to expect in a marriage.
