Taiwanese couple have world's longest marriage
This record was set back in 2002 - thought it's likely to have been broken since then, I still find it facinating for any couple to have been together for so long.
Truly an amazing story! Especially considering this was an arranged marriage and Yang Wan actually began living with and taking care of her future husband at the age of 5.
A Taiwanese man and woman married for 85 years have been certified by the Guinness Book of Records as the world's longest married couple.
The couple have officially out-done the former record holders - an American couple married for 83 years.
Liu Yung-yang, 103, and his wife Yang Wan, 102, held hands as they received the certificate at their home in Taoyuan, northern Taiwan on Monday.
They got married in April 1917, two years earlier than the American couple - William and Claudia Lillian Ritchie of Lexington, Kentucky.
About 40 of the couple's 110 children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren gathered at their home on Monday as they were given the certificate.
