WORDS BY GUZELIAN The worldís oldest living married couple have reached yet another millstone as they celebrate their 90th wedding anniversary today (DECEMBER 11). Karam and Katari Chand, from Bradford, West Yorkshire, have spent almost their entire lives together as their love for each grew stronger every year. Mr and Mrs Chand were married in India at a Sikh ceremony on December 11 in 1925, when the country was under British rule. They took the title of oldest married couple when they celebrated their 88th wedding anniversary and were looking to reach 90-year mark ever since.

Karam said: “It is a blessing to have been married and to have lived this long. Life and marriage is all about happiness, it is what is most important. We are happy to have been able to enjoy this day with our family. Occasions such as anniversaries and birthdays see our family come together and that makes us very happy.”

According to local media reports, the couple also actively participate in the city life. Last months they opened a new shopping centre, The Broadway, and even led their community in the annual Girlington Parade.
So, what’s their secret to long-lasting life and a happy marriage? Karam and Kartari have said that beyond eating a diet free of anything artificial, they both focus on doing three things: having no secrets, trying not to argue, and spending each day surrounded by family.
