John, a World War II veteran of 100 years, and Phyllis, a West Virginia native who will turn 103 on August 8, have been dating for a year. Phyllis, a devoted Christian, thought marriage was the inevitable next step in their relationship. So they went to get a marriage license at the courthouse.
They weren’t planning on getting married that day; they were simply seeking a marriage license, but at the courthouse, John and Phyllis were told they could get married right away if they wanted. John responded with a firm Yeah. The two lovebirds got it over with and spent their honeymoon as the “it” couple at the Kingston Residence.
John and Phyllis have both been widowed twice, so they know what it takes to keep a relationship going. It’s all about respecting each other’s space, they say. The couple continues to live in separate residences, with he living below and she above. “Well, I definitely shouldn’t talk about that,” John said when asked about their favorite activity together.
