A BRITISH couple tying the knot are to break two records as they become the oldest-ever newlyweds, with a combined age of 195, and the U.K.’s most elderly groom at 103.

    George Kirby and 91-year-old Doreen Luckie from Eastbourne, East Sussex, will marry after first getting together 27 years ago in 1988.

    George said: “I suppose it’s about time, really. I definitely don’t feel my age. Doreen keeps me young.”

    Between them they have had seven children, 15 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

    They finally decided to make the union official by giving into pressure from their elderly children.

    George, currently 102, proposed on Valentine’s Day and will marry for the third time June 13 — getting hitched to Doreen in front of 60 guests.

    Doreen said: “I won’t be much of a blushing bride, but I’m getting a bit giddy thinking about it.”

    On their wedding day, the pair will have a combined age of 194 years and 281 days — smashing the previous world record of 188 years set by a couple in 2013.

    The pair started dating in the 1988 when they met through an organization that finds friends for mature people.

    George, then 76, had just got divorced while Doreen, who lived in Staplehurst, Kent, had sadly become a widow three years earlier following 36 years of marriage.

    She said: “He used to come to my house. We got on straight away. He liked the roses in my front garden.”

    The couple quickly became an item and set up home together in 1990, but George only proposed to her on this Feb. 14.

    George said: “We were having dinner and I asked Doreen if she wanted to be married to me for a short time. I was so happy that she said yes.”

    The pair will get married at the Langham Hotel, owned by George’s son Neil, where they have lived since 2013.

    Neil, 63, who will be best man, said: “We’ve adopted Doreen as our mom and we’re delighted that she’s going to become a Kirby.”

    The current Guinness World Record for the oldest newly married couple belongs to Francois Fernandez and Madeleine Francineau, who tied the knot with a combined age of 190 years and 126 days.

    A Guinness World Records spokeswoman said: “We are excited to hear of this incredible marriage and would urge the family to file a Guinness World Records application so we can make their achievement official.”

    However, George said: “We’re not doing it for the record, we’re getting married because we’re in love and it seems like the right thing to do.”(SD-Agencies)
