Wow! The picture above is that one of the oldest married couples in the world who live in New York. Duranord Veillard turned 108 in March, while his wife, Jeanne Veillard, turned 105 until May. The couple's combined ages is 213.
They recently celebrated their 82nd wedding aniversery at the Spring Valley home they share with their daughter.
Veillard is a native of Haiti who was a judge there. He and his wife moved to the United States in 1968, raising five children while he worked as a hospital laboratory technician.
Though nearly blind and hard of hearing, Veillard still cracks jokes in Creole and does push-ups after getting up before dawn. His wife despite her age is also still cheerful and active.
