World’s Oldest Newlyweds
Here are the best parts of this story:
1. Forrest and Rose?! Are you kidding me?! It’s official: not only are the the oldest, but they are the cutest couple in the history of mankind.
2. I hope with everything in my soul that I am able to lift my diabetic foot up from my hospice bed at 100 years old, let alone ballroom dance. My god, someone needs to get their diet and exercise regimen for the past 70 years and write it down because I want to BE them! [EDIT] OH WAIT, FOUND IT:
Forrest smoked a pack a day for 27 years, and still enjoys a glass of wine at dinner with Rose — although he prefers whiskey and 7-Up if any of his drinking buddies are around. “My favorite food is fried food,” he added. “Something you can get a chunk of. Cut a bite off a piece of meat, that’s what I like.”
::speechless::
3. Can they be the new mascots for OBC?! We’ve always touted the three-word motto “marriage can wait,” and they exemplified that phrase better than any other human couple ever have: not only did they not MEET until they were over 50, but then they dated for 30 years (THAT IS LONGER THAN MY LIFESPAN) before committing to marriage! GENIUS. Now I wonder if we can get them to agree to use the term booty call on camera… hmm…
Someone get Forrest and Rose’s agent on the phone, STAT!
