A British couple who hold the world record for the longest marriage said
Wednesday their success was down to a glass of whisky, a glass of sherry and the
word "sorry."
Percy and Florence Arrowsmith married on June 1, 1925 and
will celebrate their 80th anniversary Wednesday.
The Guinness World Records said Tuesday the couple held the title for the
longest marriage and also for the oldest married couple's aggregate age.
"I think we're very blessed," Florence, 100, told the BBC. "We still love one
another, that's the most important part."
Asked for their secret, Florence said you must never be afraid to say
"sorry."
"You must never go to sleep bad friends," she said, while Percy, 105, said
his secret to marital bliss was just two words: "yes dear."
The couple have three children, six grandchildren and nine
great-grandchildren and are planning a party soon.
"I like sherry at lunch time and whisky at night and I'm looking forward very
much to my party," said Florence.
