Circumspect Sundays: 84 years of Marriage is a Thing of Beauty

I think that sitting on the porch with your husband of 84 years who is a sweet guy has got to be one of the most beautiful things in the world. Even if "he wasn't much to look at".  I have a goal now.  Hmm, 52 (me) + 84 (marriage) = Eternity. I can do it.

News One reports about this iconic couple:

A Craven County couple are in the Guinness World Records book. The two did nothing outlandish such as sky-diving upside down, dancing for days, taking the longest lawn mower ride or having the most tattoos. No, Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher of the Brownsville community have been married for more than 84 years. That is a feat in itself. They have the world record of the longest marriage for a living couple. They can thank their granddaughter Iris Godette for getting the recognition. She submitted the information to the Guinness Book of Records. The information was apparently checked by Guinness and a certificate was given to the couple. Herbert was born June 10, 1905. His hearing is going but his mind is sharp. Zelmyra was born Dec. 10, 1907. She uses a walker to get around the house and yard. The two of them can still give their reasons for marrying on May 13, 1924. “He was not mean; he was not a fighter,” Zelmrya said. “He was quiet and kind. He was not much to look at but he was sweet.”

Married 84 years is Blinging Beauty folks! Even if you don't have any teeth! [flash http://blingingbeauty.com/5teeth.swf w=100 h=50]
