A guy in England named George Kirby proposed to his girlfriend Doreen back in February, and they’re getting married in June. Which is a pretty short engagement, but it kind of has to be.
That’s because Doreen is currently 91 years old, and George is 102. And when they get married on June 13th, they’ll set a new world record for oldest newlyweds.
George says he popped the question over dinner on Valentine’s Day, and decided not to get down on one knee, because he didn’t know if he’d be able to get back up again. So yeah, he’s got a pretty good sense of humor about it.
On their wedding day, they’ll have a combined age of 194 years and 281 days. Which will smash the current record of 188 years that was set in 2013.
By the way, the two of them didn’t just meet. They’ve been together 27 years, and didn’t think they’d ever get married. But George finally proposed after his kids kept pressuring him to.
His 63-year-old son from a previous marriage will be his best man. For the full story, and to see photos of the “World’s Oldest Newlyweds”, just CLICK HERE!
