See The World’s Oldest Couple With No Children, celebrated 80th Wedding Anniversary

John Henderson and Charlotte Curtis aged 106 and 105 respectively who are officially recognized by the Guiness Book of World Records as the world’s oldest couple on December 22, 2019, celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary, and 85 years after sitting
in a zoology class in 1934.
John and Charlotte married in a tiny ceremony
with only two guests present on Dec. 22, 1939
and during their honeymoon in San Antonio,
they stayed at a hotel that cost $7 a night.
Even though they known each other for 85
years, they have been married only for 80,
meaning the record for the longest marriage
according to Guinness World Records, belongs
to Zelmyra and Herbert Fisher, who wed at the
ages of 17 and 19, respectively, and were
married for 86 years and 290 days before
Herbert’s death in 2011.
Speaking to Washington Post on Sunday, John
Henderson said; “it took her five years to make
up her mind that she wanted to get married,”
Speaking about the first time he got a radio,
John said;
“And I well-remember that long antenna. They
had to put it up from the front yard to the
backyard to receive a radio show,” he said.
He recalls renting a room while at the University
of Texas in the early 1930s across the street
from the Gregory Gym, one of the few historical
buildings remaining on the campus.
“The neighbours next door had a cow and
chickens. You can imagine today a cow and
chicken house across the street from Gregory,
where the campus is so large now you wouldn’t
recognize hardly anything,” John said.
“I thought he was just a fine fella, and I didn’t
mind his looking over my shoulder,” Charlotte
told The Washington Post, remembering the
first time she saw John in a Zoology class in
front of John while he made passes at her.
The pair have been lauded by many for their
long, milestone-filled life together.

However, John has admitted that other people
have a different theory for why they’re so happy
together.
“Some people say that’s the reason we’ve had
such a long married life, ’cause we didn’t have
any kids to worry about,” John said, noting that
the pair never had children.
