Based on the amount of sleep we typically get, it’s unlikely that anyone at the OneRiot offices will live to see age 81 - so it’s all the more incredible that a London couple celebrated their 81st wedding anniversary this week.
Frank and Anita Milford met at a YMCA singles mixer and tied the knot on May 28, 1928; and although they attest to a (unthinkably) long and happy marriage, the key to their nuptial success is attributed to moderate fighting. Not to go out on a limb—or gross anybody out—but we think all that means is that while the Milfords are six years behind the world record for longest marriage,* they’re probably frontrunners for the record of best makeup sex in history.
*The record for longest marriage is 87 years, held by Sir Temulji Bhicaji Nariman and Lady Nariman of India. They were married from 1853 to 1940.
