Good 夫婦 Day!!

2013-11-23 | 日記
Yesterday (11/22), in addition to being the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination, was also "Good Married Couples Day" in Japan. I'm not sure whether it was by design or coincidence, but there was an article in the Japan News about an American couple who were celebrating their 81st wedding anniversary. The couple eloped when she was 17, because her Syrian father had decided that she was to marry a much older man. Her husband was the boy across the street. Not really a boy, though, because he was already 21 years old.
Anyway, just doing the math, that means that he is now 102 and she is 98. Both are still active and seem very happy from the photo in the newspaper.

I guess that these two are the model couple for 11/22.
