Not just any anniversary, their 80th anniversary. It's a world's record for the longest marriage by a living couple. Experts believe this will stand as the longest marriage until one day the record is shattered by Kevin and Britney Federline. The couple, Percy and Florence Arrowsmith, God bless 'em, are ages 105 and 100, respectively, and also hold the record for oldest aggregate age of a married couple. They reside in Hereford, England. And I'm happy to report that unlike those "World's Oldest People" who are always in the news on their birthdays and attribute their longevity to things like "drinking a quart of whiskey, smoking a carton of Lucky's, and playing with lit firecrackers and wrestling rabid coyotes every day" the Arrowsmiths list healthy reasons for their success. They say they don't sleep on an argument, and always hold hands before going to bed. Sage wisdom we all could benefit from. It's stunning how long they've been together. In eighty years of marriage the couple have witnessed approximately 30,000 sunsets, the couple have eaten approximately 6,000 romantic meals together, and, the couple has made love approximately seventeen times. (Remember, they're British). No, that's not true, from all appearances the Arrowsmiths have a genuinely strong relationship. But let's hope they're not the type to bring up the past while arguing. "And remember that time in 1926 when you said..." This story appeared in the news the same day the notorious "runaway bride" was sentenced to probation. What a stark contrast. A couple who managed to maintain a stable, loving marriage eighty years past the date of their betrothal, and, a lady who contracted cold feet, shaved her head, and hopped a Greyhound to Vegas before her ceremony. In a fair world, the couple who celebrated their 80th would be the "get" story. Alas, the"runaway bride" was among the lead stories on my evening news in Los Angeles, with the Arrowsmiths bringing up the rear. . Indeed, this was actually progress, coming around television sweeps time, when the lead story on my local evening news in L.A. is traditionally something like junior college girls hopping on trampolines in go go boots.
