Two longtime Britons have just celebrated their 83rd wedding anniversary, making them the longest-living couple in the country. Helen and Maurice Kay, 104 and 105, celebrated with their family in Bournemouth last week.
The couple met when Maurice Cai was working as a salesman in his father’s company. They have been together for 87 years.
“A lot of things have changed, but we’re still together, thank God,” he said. – We had a wonderful day, our beautiful grandchildren entertained us. Now I look forward to the next anniversary.”
“I was amazed at how much I enjoyed myself,” said Helen Kai, referring to the party being held at their home, 160 kilometers from London.
The couple has two surviving children, seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Their daughter, Tina, said her parents are “an inspiration to everyone who knows them and we feel they are really lucky.”
She describes her mother as a very elegant, well groomed woman who goes to the hairdresser at least twice a week and gets her nails done every Friday, and her father has a good sense of humour. tomorrow and is a wonderful man of life.
The couple said they would have celebrated their 87th wedding anniversary if it weren’t for Helen Kaye’s waiting for her sister to get married.
After his spell, Maurice Kaye continued to run his father’s factory and two shops in London, which were completely destroyed in the bombing. In 1939, he went to the front and fought against the Nazis. After the war, the couple moved to the seaside town of Bournemouth and had four children, two of whom survived.
In 1944, the couple’s factory, shop and home were destroyed during the war, forcing them to move to Bournemouth, where they had four children.
“I didn’t expect it to last a week, but it’s amazing, it lasted 80 years,” Maurice Cai once joked in an interview. In this interview, Maurice Cai said he knows the secret to a happy family life: he always agrees with his wife in everything.
