Karam Chand, 110, and his wife Kartari Chand, 103, from Bradford, West Yorkshire will have a lot to reminisce about over a celebratory slice of cake.
On December 11, 1925, the couple married 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.
By this point they must be pretty good at buying each other good gifts, right?
Kartari and Karim moved to Bradford in 1965 and currently have eight children, 27 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.
They live with their youngest son Paul, his wife and two of their four children.
Paul said: ‘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.’
