    A 100-year-old man and a 102-year-old woman have gotten married and become the oldest newlyweds of the world earning them a Guinness World Record.

    Bernie Littman and Marjorie Fiterman met at a costume party at their senior living home in Philadelphia and ended up falling in love. 

    They tied the knot at the facility where they both live on May 19, according to UPI. 

    The couple later discovered that they had both been students at the University of Philadelphia at the same time but never crossed paths in their academic lives.

    Littman’s granddaughter, Sarah Sicherman told the Jewish Chronicle that the pair were “so lucky to have found each other and be a support to each other, especially during the pandemic”.

    Sicherman also wrote on her social media that Littman and Fiterman “both had 60-plus years of marriage to their first spouse and found love again at 100 years old!”

    The rabbi who officiated the wedding ceremony told Fox News the couple had eventually realised that “not just close friends — but husband and wife — felt like the right step to take”.

    Littman attributed his long life to reading and staying up-to-date on world events whereas Fiterman credited her old age to buttermilk.

    “They both love each other’s humor and intellect,” Sicherman told Guinness World Records, “they keep each other young”.
