British couple become world’s oldest newlyweds

A 103-year-old man and a 91-year-old woman held their wedding in Britain on Saturday, becoming the oldest couple to get married in the world. George Kirby and Doreen Luckie – together for 27 years – looked delighted as they tied the knot before close friends and family. The bride wore a white dress with blue flowers while the groom, a former boxer, was dressed smartly in a suit and tie. He was in a wheelchair following a recent fall. Speaking ahead of the ceremony, Luckie said the couple had “no regrets” about not doing it earlier.

We didn’t want to bother about marriage before but eventually we did it.

The couple reportedly have seven children, 15 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren between them. They got engaged on Valentine’s Day this year, according to the Daily Mail. “I didn’t get down on one knee, because I don’t think I would have been able to get back up,” the newspaper quoted Kirby as saying.
