英文： British couple who hold the world record for the longest marriage
British couple who hold the world record for the longest marriage said on Wednesday their success was down to a glass of whisky, a glass of sherry and the word "sorry".
Percy and Florence Arrowsmith married on June 1, 1925 and will celebrate their 80th anniversary on Wednesday.
The Guinness World Records said on Tuesday the couple held the title for the longest marriage and a lso for the oldest married couple's aggregate age.
"I think we're very blessed," Florence, 100, told the BBC. "We still love one another, that's the most important part."
Asked for their secret, Florence said you must never be afraid to say "sorry".
"You must never go to sleep bad friends," she said, while Percy, 105, said his secret to marital bliss was just two words: "yes dear".
The couple have three children, six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren and are planning a party soon.
"I like sherry at lunch time and whisky at night and I'm looking forward very much to my party," said Florence.
