A Brazilian couple, whose wedding was in 1940, officially received the Guinness World Record for the longest marriage for a living couple.
Manoel Angelim Dino, 105, and Maria de Sousa Dino, 101, were awarded the title when Guinness World Records and LongeviQuest, a website that tracks records for centenarians and beyond, verified that they had been married for 84 years and 77 days.
The couple met in 1936 and married in the church of Boa Ventura in Ceara, Brazil, in 1940.
They raised 13 children and now have 55 grandchildren, 54 great-grandchildren and 12 great-great-grandchildren.
The longest marriage ever lasted 88 years and 349 days. David Jacob Hiller and Sarah Davy Hiller were married in 1809 in Canada. /Telegraph/
