World’s oldest couple with combined age of 213 years celebrates their 90th wedding anniversary
Karam Chand, 110, and his wife Kartari Chand, got married on December 11, 1925, in a Sikh ceremony in India when the country was still under British rule.
The record holders were both born in November and last month enjoyed a joint birthday celebration with family and friends from around the world. Metro UK reported.
They live with their youngest son Paul, his wife and two of their four children.
Paul told Metro UK: ‘To be aged 110 and to be so healthy is a huge milestone for anyone…We are still trying to come up with names for what you would call a 90th anniversary, as it is such an achievement.’
He added: ‘I am also proud of the my whole for family for helping us keep my parents in such good health. It is a blessing to have them still around and to have them still telling me what to do.’
Karam, who turned 110 on November 10, and Kartari, who turned 103 on November 1, opened a new Westfield shopping centre, The Broadway, in honour of their achievement last month.
Kartari and Karim moved to Bradford, England in 1965 and currently have eight children, 27 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.
