Percy Arrowsmith and Florence Arrowsmith were, until Percy's death, a married couple residing in Hereford, England. On June 1, 2005 they erroneously made it into the Guinness Book of Records for the longest marriage for a living couple and the oldest aggregate age of a married couple. They had been married for 80 years, having married in Hereford in 1925, three years after they met.

  • Percy Arrowsmith and Florence Arrowsmith were, until Percy's death, a married couple residing in Hereford, England. On June 1, 2005 they erroneously made it into the Guinness Book of Records for the longest marriage for a living couple and the oldest aggregate age of a married couple. They had been married for 80 years, having married in Hereford in 1925, three years after they met. However, Le Monde newspaper revealed that one couple in France was even older than the Arrowsmiths: AndrĂ© Debry and Marguerite Pingaud were married on August 12, 1924 and celebrated their 81st wedding anniversary in August 2005. Shortly after Percy's death, Guinness recognized Herbert and Magda Brown as holding the aggregate-age married couple record, and E.R. and Bessie Pennebaker as holding the longest-marriage record until he died. In July 2005, Guinness recognized the 82-year marriage of John and Amelia Rocchio as the longest marriage of a living couple until she died.
