A couple, Clarence Vail, 101, and Mayme, 99, marked their 84th wedding anniversary. They lived most of their wedded life in Hugo, Minnesota. "You have to have patience" said Mayme "to be married to the same person for over eight decades." They had six children, 30
grandchildren, 101 great-grandchildren, and 40 great-great-grandchildren.
Yet the Vails are not record-setters. The world’s oldest living married couple, celebrated their 90th wedding anniversary recently. Karam Chand, 110, and his wife Kartari Chand, 103, from Bradford, West Yorkshire U.K. married on December 11, 1925, in a Sikh ceremony in India when the country was still under British
rule.
