WOW!! Couple Celebrates 80th Wedding Anniversary!!

LONDON -- What does it take to stay married for 80 years?

A British couple knows. Percy and Florence Arrowsmith celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary Wednesday. He's 105, she's 100.

They offer this advice: Don't sleep on an argument, always share a kiss and hold hands before going to bed.

The Arrowsmiths were married on June 1, 1925. They met at their church in western England, where he sang in the choir and she was a Sunday school teacher.

They celebrated their anniversary at home, having coffee and snacks and with family and friends.

Queen Elizabeth sent a card congratulating them on their "splendid achievement."

Guinness World Records said the Arrosmiths hold records for the longest marriage for a living couple and the oldest aggregate age of a married couple.
