BOB Posted February 19, 2005 This is a Feel Good kind of topic particularly for those of us who believe in Love & Marriage. London - A British historian has discovered the tomb of a couple married for 81 years, accepted by Guinness World Records as historically unique. Thomas and Elizabeth Morgan celebrated their marriage in Cwmbran, Wales in May, 1809, which ended with her death in January 1891 when she had just turned 105 and he was 104 and 260 days. at the time, they had a combined age of 209 years, a record for a married couple. Thomas Morgan died in January 1893 at the age of 106 and 270 days. Historian Graham Lawrence, 72, came across their ivy-covered tombstone by chance during a walk, and found out that the couple had 17 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren. That's Beautiful. Peace, Love & Unity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me it was about the dedication and commitment it required for them to reach 81 years of marriage. Masha Allah ------------------ I don't believe in emails. I'm an old fashioned girl. I believe in calling and hanging up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alle-ubaahne Posted February 24, 2005 A Somali wise man has said, "great men always discover the different tastes of life by reaching the limit of their marriage rights".

Faarax-Brawn Posted March 2, 2005 What a boring and monotonous life they must have had. I have to commend the poor man though. Takes a real man to be with a woman that long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
