I love stories like this: Minnesota residents Clarence and Mayme Vail have been married for 83 years, and have earned a place in the Guinness World Records.
When asked to explain the secret of their long marriage. Mayme answered:
“You take your vows, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer,” Mayme said. “I guess you just stick to it, come what may.”
They say they haven’t had an argument since 1946, something that Mayme attributes to the fact that her husband, who is 101, is the strong, silent type who isn’t given to argument. “That’s why we got along so well,” joked the 99-year-old Mayme. “He never spoke out of turn. I didn’t give him a chance.”
I was proud of our upcoming 18 year anniversary, I feel like a young pup, now.
They have 186 descendants. That’s a lot of school plays to attend, no?
