Couple Weds for 100th Time

They have been making vows since 1984

(Newser) – No 15-year itch for this couple: Two Tennessee lovebirds have renewed their wedding vows a 99th time, setting a world record once again, the Huffington Post reports. Lauren and David Blair fell in love when they met in 1982. They were married—for the first time—in California in 1984. Ever since their 66th renewal, the couple have been upping a Guinness World Record for “Most Marriage Vow Renewals by the Same Couple.”

“We were both in long-term relationships in the past that didn't work out,” Lauren says. “We knew we were meant for each other and wanted to continually share that vow experience.” And it’s still a thrill, she gushes: “I love to look into David's eyes as he is repeating his vows. I know that this man will love me until the day I die.” He may have an ulterior motive, however. “David will tell you that he does it for the honeymoons!" Click through for more on the happy couple.

The winners, who kissed for 50 hours, took home a diamond ring worth more than $3,200 for their troubles, plus a hotel gift voucher worth twice that. This isn't the first time a male couple has broken a kissing record … More»
