Duranord Veillard turned 109 in February and Jeanne, turns 105 in this May. The pair have been married for an astounding 83 years! How is that for commitment?
The couple married in November 1932, just for perspective, that was the same month Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president of the USA!
The Haitian couple moved to the USA in 1968, Duranord was a judge and lost his job, so he obtained his USA visa to visit he USA and settle in Spring Valley.
The pair had five kids and gradually they all came to join him.
Last year they celebrated 82 years of marriage and the pair were quite the scene, cracking jokes and being real superstars. Jeanne joked that she found Duraord in the street when asked how they met!
